On this day two years ago, Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah unleashed a storm at the Kennington Oval in London that swept away the English batters.

July 12, 2022, witnessed Bumrah transform into an alchemist on the field, turning his deliveries into gold—or rather, into fireballs that razed the England batting order.

As the Indian team stepped onto the field, fresh off their 2-1 win in the T20I series, expectations were sky-high, but what followed was beyond expectations.


OTD in 2022, Bumrah became a nightmare for England 

Jasprit Bumrah, producing his magic, conjured a spell so lethal that it became his career-best ODI performance to date. 

He delivered a career-best 6/19 in just 7.2 overs, with an economy rate that whispered deadly efficiency at 2.6. His spell was less a display of bowling and more a spectacle of demolition.

With every delivery, Bumrah wreaked havoc—his yorkers crashed into the stumps with the ferocity of a storm, his pace was a blur that baffled the eye, and his swing was a siren that lured batters into inevitable doom.

The Jasprit Bumrah wickets included England batters—Jason Roy, Liam Livingstone, David Willey, and Brydon Carse, who fell like a pack of cards as their stumps were sent cartwheeling in a display of sheer destruction.

High-profile victims Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root were also outsmarted, their edges kissing the ball into the wicketkeeper's gloves.

Amidst this spell, England's scoreboard read an abysmal 110 all out in 25.2 overs. The captain, Jos Buttler, managed a top score of 30.

Bumrah's partners, Mohammed Shami (3) and Prasidh Krishna (1) played their parts, too, cleaning up the remnants of a lineup that looked more shell-shocked than competitive.

The chase then morphed into a cakewalk for the Indian openers. Rohit Sharma, with a blistering unbeaten 76 off 58 balls, and Shikhar Dhawan, providing solid support with 31* off 54, chased down the paltry target in just 18.4 overs.

Their unbroken opening stand sealed the match and set a tone of dominance reflected through the remainder of the series, which India clinched 2-1.

Two years hence, as Bumrah continues to lead and inspire with similar performances, including a critical role in India's recent T20 World Cup victory where he was named the Player of the Tournament, the memories of that day at The Oval serve as a clear reminder of his explosive talent that continues to shine with each game.
