Bumrah got Player of the Match for his 9 wickets in India's win.
England was bowled out for 292 in chase of the 399-run target with Zak Crawley top-scoring with 73 runs. It was a valiant effort by England, but the pitch on day four in Vizag was just too much for its batters to handle.
After taking 6/45 in the first innings, Jasprit Bumrah took three wickets in the second innings, finishing with 9 wickets. The highlight of the match was his searing inswinging yorker to Ollie Pope in the first innings.
“The yorker was the first delivery I learnt. While playing with the tennis ball, I learnt it. I saw on the television Waqar, Wasim and Zaheer execute it and I learnt it,” Bumrah said at the post-match presentation on JioCinema.

He picked up the wickets of Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes, and Tom Hartley to end England’s resistance in the second innings.
“I don’t look at numbers. When I was young, I looked at numbers and got excited. But I don’t look at it now. It gives extra baggage. The important thing was to win and I’m happy with it,” he said.
When asked about being the leader of the pace bowling attack, Bumrah said: “Not a leader. But I feel I have played a good amount of cricket as we are in a transition period. So, I feel it’s my responsibility to give the youngsters knowledge. Rohit has seen me growing up. We have conversations about what we should be doing and what not to do.”
“I’m a fast-bowling fan. I love watching fast bowling and I don’t feel I have to pull up my socks. If somebody’s doing well, kudos to them. I look at the situation, at the wicket, and think what are my options. I should not be a one-trick pony. I should execute it on the conditions that I play in,” he signed off.
