1st Test: Bumrah Claims Fifer As India Bowl Out SA For 159
Jasprit Bumrah: Fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was at his devastating best to claim figures of 5-27 as India bowled out South Africa for just 159 on day one of the first Test at Eden Gardens on Friday.
South Africa, who won the toss and elected to bat on a two-paced pitch offering variable bounce, looked well placed for a big score at 57/0 in the 11th over. But once Bumrah removed the openers in quick succession, their innings collapsed dramatically.
The visitors lost all ten wickets for just 102 runs, with their middle order unable to withstand the relentless pressure, as Bumrah picked his 16th five-wicket haul in Tests.
