2nd Test: Fascinating To See How Root Will Counter Bumrah In This Series, Says Cook
Sir Alastair Cook: Former England captain Sir Alastair Cook said it should be fascinating to see how Joe Root will be countering Jasprit Bumrah in future after the fast-bowler dismissed the right-handed batter for the second time in the ongoing series at Visakhapatnam.
In his magical spell of 6-45, where Bumrah produced a masterclass in reverse-swing bowling, he removed Root, Ollie Pope, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, before cleaning up the tail by removing Tom Hartley and James Anderson. The scalp of Stokes was his 150th wicket in Test matches, as India took a 171-run first-innings lead.
"A couple of those balls, the Bumrah spell against Joe Root, is actually very high-quality reverse swing bowling. What is very clever about it is after the partnership, Bumrah didn’t bowl the first over of reverse swing, (Mukesh) Kumar did, and when they knew it was reverse swinging, they went to his (India skipper Rohit Sharma's) best bowler."
