India have produced so many quality pacers in the last few years, but none bigger than 'Boom' 'Boom' Jasprit Bumrah. The Indian seamer made his white-ball debut in 2016, but it wasn't until 2018 that he showed the world his true potential.

Having made his Test debut against South Africa in 2018, Bumrah had a memorable tour, and went onto become one of India's key player in the longest format. Throughout his career, Bumrah has produced miraculous performances, but it was against the West Indies in 2019, that he wreaked havoc and made the Windies batters danced to his tunes.

On this day 4 years ago, Bumrah produced a magical spell of 5 for 7 inside 8 overs, and helped India clinch the Test match by 318 runs. Having picked up just a solitary wicket in the first innings, the right-arm pacer saved his best for the second innings, and took the key wickets of Kraigg Brathwaite, John Campbell, Shai Hope, Darren Bravo and Jason Holder.

He was breathing fire on that day and the Windies batter had no answer to the legendary spell. Bravo's wicket still remains in the eyes of every Indian fan. He bowled a perfect in-swinger and that castled the stumps as the batter looked shell-shocked.

Talking about Bumrah, he made his long-awaited return to the international circuit and captained the side in the Ireland T20I series, which India won 2-0. Bumrah's next assignment will be in the Asia Cup, scheduled to take place in Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
