Jasprit Bumrah's excellent six-wicket burst in the first-innings of the Vizag Test and the dismissal where he sent the stumps cartwheeling against England batter Ollie Pope became the topic of an amusing conversation between commentators Harsha Bhogle and Dinesh Karthik on Day 3. 

As Bhogle's famous "what a ball!! what a bowler!!!" after Bumrah's devastating yorker against Pope went viral on Saturday (February 3), Karthik told his senior commentating partner that he is seemingly everywhere. 



The experienced Indian wicketkeeper-batter told Bhogle that his exclamation and roar over Bumrah's wicket overshadowed his remarks in praise for the ace India speedster since the BCCI edited him out from the famous clip of the Pope dismissal in Vizag.

Bhogle then brought out his humour and pulled Karthik's leg by suggesting him not to spend too much time on social media while the duo's third partner in the commentary box Eoin Morgan laughed his heart out. 



The hilarious conversation played on Sports18 in the pre-lunch session on Day 3 where India tried to stretch their first-innings advantage, which wouldn't have been possible without the class and the pedigree of Bumrah in the middle. 



When even Indian spinners bar left-arm wristspinner Kuldeep Yadav appeared manageable for England batters, they were given a major jolt by the great fast-bowler who ran in full steam and produced an unplayable exhibition of subtle reverse swing. 

Perennially aiming for the stumps, Bumrah made English players err on the line and ran through their middle-order, elevating his series tally to 12 scalps in just three innings at an average of less than 10. After bagging 6 for 69 in the Hyderabad Test, Bumrah doubled his tally in the first half in Vizag at the expense of only 45 runs.
