Team India's ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah evoked memories of cleaning up Haris Rauf during the recent Asia Cup 2025 final against Pakistan with an unplayable delivery to Justin Greaves on day 1 of the first Test against the West Indies. Bumrah uprooted Greaves' off-stump and soon did the same against Johann Layne in his following over.
The dismissal of the well-set Greaves occurred in the 39th over of the innings and Bumrah's 12th as the all-rounder could not bring the bat down in time to a high pace delivery. The ball thudded on to the off-stump and uprooted it off the ground. The Ahmedabad-born cricketer sent down a similar delivery to Rauf in the Asia Cup 2025 final and mocked him with the 'planes crashing' celebration.
It was also the third scalp for the right-arm speedster, who had got Justin Campbell to nick off in the first hour.
