Jasprit Bumrah Made A Hat-Trick In The Test Cricket

Jasprit Bumrah who has been the top bowler of the World has made an out and out performance in the ongoing Test Cricket. He was the third Indian to claim a hat-trick in the Tests. Further, Bumrah displayed outstanding bowling skills over windies in Jamaica as he took his fifth five-wicket haul in Test cricket on Saturday.

Jasprit Bumrah was the one to achieve the feat after Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan, who made their hat-trick in Test matches against Australia and Pakistan, respectively. This was Bumrah’s second five-wicket haul in two innings where he had picked up a five-wicket haul in the second innings of the first Test against the West Indies in Antigua.

In the first-innings where India made a total of 416, the fast bowler dismissed Darren Bravo, Shamarh Brooks, and Roston Chase with his successive deliveries in his fourth over. Bumrah’s achievement was unusual in that it necessitated a review of the third decision to confirm the dismissal.

However, KL Rahul caught Bravo at second slip, Brooks was trapped under LBW, a decision he reviewed but was shown to be correct and then Indian captain Virat Kohli reviewed a not out verdict by standing umpire Paul Reiffel to an appeal against new batsman Chase.

That review through television replays and ball-tracking technology showed the ball to striking leg-stump, resulting in a reversal of the decision and triggering celebrations among the Indian players at Bumrah’s historic achievement which reduced the West Indies to 13 for four.

Bumrah’s hat-trick was recorded as the 44th in Test history and the first since England spinner Moeen Ali against South Africa in 2017.
