Jasprit Bumrah brought his A-game to the table in the first ODI against England as he claimed his career-best figures of 6/19 to help. India Register a win by 10 wickets. Bumrah took full advantage of the raining conditions to take advantage of the English batsmen as three of his victims were dismissed for ducks.
A solid unbeaten opening stand between Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan after Bumrah’s carnage with the ball helped India take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
India vs England 1st ODI Match Highlights
Bumrah’s wife Sanjana Ganesan, who is currently working with the broadcasters of the series, took a dig at the England batsmen during the mid-innings show.
“The dining area is a busy place. It’s a shocking block full of English fans because they don’t want to watch cricket. There’s a lot of stalls like fries, hot dogs, typical match day food. For you, we’ve come across one such stall. “Where a lot of English batsmen wouldn’t want to come in. It’s called a crispy duck. We have a duck wrap, we want to see how good the duck is off the field because the duck on the field is absolutely fantastic,” said Sanjana Ganesan.
