ENG vs IND,1st Test: Jasprit Bumrah & Gautam Gambhir Engaged In Animated Chat Following Subpar Performance by Other Indian Bowlers

Jasprit Bumrah was a frustrated figure on Day 2 of the opening Test match against England on Saturday, despite claiming all three wickets. England posted 209/3 after the end of the second day's play. Team India's pace spearhead was unable to get support from his fellow bowlers throughout the day. It was seen having an animated discussion with coach Gautam Gambhir in the dressing room in the final hour of play on Saturday.

The picture of the animated discussion has gone viral on social media. The moment between the two was captured in the 40th over of England's innings when Bumrah was off the field. Shardul Thakur was introduced into the attack, and during the uneventful first over by the Mumbai all-rounder, the cameras panned to the Indian dressing room, where Bumrah was seen doing all the talking. It looked like the pacer was unhappy with how things were proceeding in the Test match.

England fight back despite Bumrah's three-wicket haul

After Team India's batting lineup posted 471 runs in their first innings, it was time for bowlers to rise to the occasion. Bumrah gave India a good start by picking up a wicket in the first over of England opener Zak Crawley by dismissing him for 4. Bumrah then came very close to dismissing both Ben Duckket and Ollie Pope. However, Duckett survived a close LBW appeal and Ravindra Jadeja dropped him at gully while Pope edged a couple through the slip cordon.

Bumrah broke the Duckett-Pope partnership when the left-hander (Duckett) inside edged one of the deliveries into his stumps for 62. The wicket also helped Bumrah break Wasim Akram's long-standing record of picking the most wickets by an Asian bowler in SENA countries. Bumrah now has 147 wickets in 55 innings.

A couple of overs later, Bumrah should have got his third wicket of Ollie Pope; however, Yashasvi Jaiswal, who could not hold on to a sharp catch at third slip when Pope got an outside edge. Pope went on to score a century.

Towards the fag end of days play, Bumrah got the important wicket of Joe Root who was guilty of pushing at ball that bounced more. He could have got another wicket in the last over of the day when Harry Brook was out caught, but replays showed Bumrah had overstepped.
