Bumrah back with a bang, takes two wickets in first over against Ireland in comeback match

Jasprit Bumrah, who’s making a comeback after being sidelined for 11 months on account of a recurring again damage, took the wicket of Ireland’s Andy Balbirnie off the second ball of the primary T20 International in Dublin on Friday.

Bumrah then eliminated Lorcan Tucker off the fifth ball of the primary over for his second scalp.

The skipper began off with a free full supply that was taking place leg-side and Balbirnie gently flicked it to the boundary at square-leg. Bumrah then corrected his line and bowled it full outdoors off. The supply seamed in a bit and took Balbirnie’s inside edge earlier than crashing onto the stumps.

The No. 3 batter Tucker survived a few deliveries, which included a searing yorker bowled with pinpoint accuracy. However, the batter appeared to have misplaced his persistence as he tried a ramp shot off a full and extensive supply outdoors off-stump and solely ended up skying a simple catch to wicketkeeper Sanju Samson.

Bumrah ended the over with one other inswining supply as Harry Tector defended it stoutly. Four runs got here off the over for the lack of two wickets in a rocky begin to Ireland’s innings.
