Indian pace sensation and Vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah left former England pacer & legend Stuart Broad in awe during the ongoing second Test in Vizag. Bumrah's devastating spell on the second day saw him claim a remarkable six-wicket haul, dismantling the English batting order and propelling India to a substantial lead of 143 runs.

Bumrah's reverse swing magic unfolded in his second spell on Day 2, immediately after Zak Crawley's departure. Broad emphasized the rarity of bowlers effectively using reverse swing in Test matches and praised Bumrah's toe-crushing yorker to Ollie Pope, a dismissal he termed as 'Iconic.' Pope, who played a pivotal role in England's comeback during the first Test, was left rattled by Bumrah's well-executed plan and the lethal yorker.

The Indian pacer showcased exceptional skill, surpassing the milestone of 150 Test wickets in just his 34th match, making him the fastest Indian pacer to achieve this feat in 64 Test innings. Stuart Broad, taking to his official account, applauded Bumrah's skills and acknowledged the danger posed by reverse swing in Test matches.


Bumrah's brilliance continued as he dismissed English captain Ben Stokes for his 150th Test wicket, utilizing a delivery that seamed back into the left-hander. The fast bowler secured his 10th five-wicket haul in Tests by wrapping up England's innings for 253.

India, aiming to level the five-match series, posted a formidable total of 396 in the first innings, led by Yashasvi Jaiswal's remarkable double century.

As the test match progresses on Day 3, India has asserted dominance, reaching 133/4 in their second innings after lunch on the third day, extending their lead to a formidable 276 runs. Shubman Gill, standing strong at 63*, and Axar Patel, unbeaten at 2*, were at the crease, steering India towards a commanding position.
