Jasprit Bumrah created history, became the first Indian to take a wicket on the first ball of the innings against England.

New Delhi. Jasprit Bumrah created history in the second ODI against England. In this exciting match played at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, as soon as England’s innings started, Bumrah displayed such magic with his swing that the host team was stunned. This 32-year-old right-arm fast bowler has made a historic record in his name by taking a wicket on the very first ball of the match, which no Indian bowler could do against England before.

When the England team came out to bat first after winning the toss in Cardiff, they were expected to put pressure on the Indian bowlers. But Jasprit Bumrah, who was leading the Indian attack, had different intentions. Bumrah took charge of the Indian attack and decided to bowl the first over. England’s dangerous left-handed batsman Ben Duckett was on strike.

Bumrah started running with his familiar action and bowled a perfect length delivery just outside the off-stump. The ball took a slight turn after hitting the ball and took the outside edge of Ben Duckett’s bat and went straight into the gloves of wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan. Duckett did not get even a moment to regain his composure and returned to the pavilion on a ‘golden duck’ without opening the account. There was an atmosphere of celebration in the Indian camp and the Indian fans present in the stands jumped with joy.

Jasprit Bumrah entered the pages of history
This wicket of Ben Duckett was not just a success, but it was a moment to be recorded in the books of cricket history. With this wicket, Jasprit Bumrah has become the first Indian bowler to take a wicket on the very first ball of the innings in ODI cricket against England. Before this, many great fast bowlers of India have taken a tough test with the new ball against England, but till date no one has been able to do the feat of taking a wicket on the very first ball of the innings. Bumrah has once again proved why he is counted among the most lethal new ball bowlers in the world.

On this lush green ground of Cardiff, Sophia Gardens, Bumrah got excellent help from the pitch and he took full advantage of his seam position and pushed the English batsmen on the back foot.
