Watch: Jasprit Bumrah rattles Taskin Ahmed's timber in trademark style
Bumrah accounted for four wickets conceding 50 runs in his 11 overs.
Pacer Jasprit Bumrah gradually drew Taskin Ahmed to lose the plot by changing the line and length, every now and then. The variations included a barrage of bouncers and Taskin received a pep talk from Mehidy Hasan Miraz, saying “Well Played”.
But the subsequent delivery just rattled the timber of Bangladeshi paceman in trademark Bumrah style.
However, he had no answer to the sheer precision of the ball. The leather traversed the length of the deck opted for a quick dip and bifurcated the middle and leg stumps as the bails went away in flash. As a result, the stumps were rattled thereby savouring the most delightful sight for a fast bowler.
Here’s the viral moment of Taskin’s dismissal:
