India’s stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah played a captain’s knock on Day 2 of the ongoing rescheduled Test against England at Edgbaston.
Bumrah arrived in the middle after the fall of Mohammad Shami’s wicket in the 80th over and he produced a dazzling cameo of 16-ball 31* for the visitors.
Bumrah’s unbeaten knock was studded with 4 fours and 2 sixes. All of his boundaries came in an over of veteran England pacer Stuart Broad, which went for a total of 35 runs – the new record for most runs off an over in Test cricket.
While Bumrah smashed the first ball for a four, the second delivery went for five wides followed by a six off a no-ball and then three consecutive fours. In the fifth delivery, the Indian captain once again hit a six before taking a single on the last ball.

Team India’s first innings eventually folded for 416 in 84.5 overs. Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja starred with the bat for the tourists, slamming 146 and 104 respectively.
