IND vs ENG: Bumrah stuns Pope with Magic Yorker, turns Root into his bunny to leave India on top in second Test
In the few seconds it took for the ball to leave Jasprit Bumrah’s hands and reach Ollie Pope, it turned into a ball of fire. From the moment it was released, it seemed to have only one purpose: to explode. In search engines, this is the delivery that AI would give as an example of the yorker taking a reverse swing. In a spell either side of tea that read 6-4-3-3, and included wickets of Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow, Bumrah pushed England out of the way to take a 143-run lead for India.
If facing an all-time monster isn’t difficult enough, Pope had to do it taking into account the reverse swing in the 28th innings as well. He probably doesn’t know which side the shine of the ball is on. Even if he had a vague idea, he can’t be sure which way the ball will form once he lands. He has a split second to figure all this out and protect the wicket from him. Having watched Joe Root work out and weather a storm a week ago in Bumrah’s Hyderabad, he has to do it all again. He doesn’t even look like the batsman who made 196 runs a week ago.
