Bumrah’s exceptional record with the old ball in home conditions
To secure the win against Bangladesh, India needed to take 20 wickets. After dismissing three batsmen on Day 1, India took the remaining 17 wickets in 121 overs—74.2 in the first innings and 47 in the second. Jasprit Bumrah, India’s key bowler, played a pivotal role by ensuring the Bangladeshi tail did not extend their innings. Bumrah’s performance with the old ball further solidified his reputation as one of the best pacers in the game.
