On August 25, 2019, Jasprit Bumrah breathed fire against West Indies as he registered a five-wicket haul in the second innings to register a win for India. 

It was the first Test of a two-match red-ball series and India, batting first, put 297 runs on the board. 

In reply, the Windies tumbled for 222 runs. India, in the second innings, rode on Ajinkya Rahane's century and set a target of 419 runs.

Bumrah showed his worth as a red-ball bowler that day and took a five-wicket haul to stun the Windies. 

The right-arm seamer registered the figures of 5/7, which are the most economic five-wicket haul in Test cricket for India. 

Bumrah's magical spell helped India register a 318-run win, their highest win away from home in history. 

Firstly, the MI star got rid of Kraigg Brathwaite and then castled John Campbell with a peach of a delivery. 

Interestingly, Bumrah's other wickets were Darren Bravo, Shai Hope, and then skipper Jason Holder and all three of them were clean-bowled.
