The pacer devastated the boasted batting line-up of England, Swinging the ball in daylight.

These are days when the fast bowling of India displays what it’s capable of, and there are days when they are, but Jasprit Bumrah always steals the show. Six wickets for 19 runs in 7 overs. It’s against England, who just broke the record for the highest score at one-day internationals, so that’s also against them? It looked like the new captain, Ben Stokes, and his opening partner, Jos Butler, were going to have a fantastic start. Nevertheless, Jasprit Bumrah washed out their dreams with his best figures on 6/19, thrashing England to 110. This is the lowest total made by England in any One Day International against India; furthermore, Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma bragged the partnership of 114 runs in the first ten overs, leading to England’s defeat.

Not mentioning the name of Mohammed Shami would be a bad idea. He also holds the spot of the game-changing bowler by dismissing Ben Stokes for a duck and then dismissing Butler, who was trying to save the game, with his 30 runs in 32 balls. Joe Root, Jason Roy Liam Livingstone, who lately had set the Indian Premier League on fire with their stiff and long-ranged sixes, scored a duck. The test Centurion of England, upon whom they can easily rely on an excellent knock, Jonny Bairstow, too, grade seven.

Before this, India had only picked all ten wickets in an ODI, were against West Indies(Lord’s, 1983), Australia(Chelmsford, 1983), Bangladesh( Mirzapur, 2014), Pakistan( Toronto, 1997), and Sri Lanka( Johannesburg, 2003), but it was never the bowling first. Rohit Sharma was more ready with his fast-seamed bowlers to unleash upon England and to taste victory.
