OTD | Jasprit Bumrah’s nine wickets against England helped India seize a 106-run win in Vizag

OTD | Jasprit Bumrah’s nine wickets against England helped India seize a 106-run win in Vizag

On this day in 2024, India staged a strong comeback in the series against England by winning the second Test by 106 runs to level the series 1-1. Jasprit Bumrah, Shubmam Gill, and Yashasvi Jaiswal were the key performers for the home side. Bumrah, in particular, delivered the best spell of his Test career at home and led the resurgence of the home side.

Having lost the first Test of the series in Hyderabad, India was under a bit of pressure to show up in Vizag. They did the same in the second Test. Batting first, the home side posted 396 runs on the board. On a tricky surface, Yashasvi waged a lone battle and registered the maiden Test double hundred of his career. With some cameos at the other end, India had a good total on the board.

In reply to India’s 396, England was 132/2 at one stage and seemed to post a good total. That was when Bumrah’s magic started. The star pacer ran through England’s batting lineup and claimed a 6-wicket haul. His spell ensured England was dismissed to 253 from 132/2 at one stage. India had a lead of 143 runs, which was handy on a surface like the one in Vizag.

India had momentum in the second innings which helped them with the bat. Shubman Gill scored a hundred and ensured India posted 255 runs. Tom Hartley and Rehan Ahmed claimed 4 and 3 wickets respectively. England was asked to chase a mammoth total of 399 runs. They were confident of chasing and looked good at one stage in the fourth innings.

Zack Crawley’s start helped ENG to be 132/2 at one stage. With the wicket not deteriorating badly, England sensed an opportunity to win. But Bumrah and Ashwin’s spells ensured India got back in the game. India dismissed England for 292 in the second innings and won the Test by 106 runs. Bumrah won the POTM award for claiming 9 wickets in the Test.
