Jasprit Bumrah was at his best in the nets ahead of the second IND vs SA Test as he bowled some great bowls and tested Indian batters a lot. However, apart from the high-intensity session, he also tried a few things. 

Jasprit Bumrah was seen imitating off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin’s bowling action. What caught the attention of many was he replicated his bowling action to perfection. He entertained his teammates with his antics.

Going into the second IND vs SA, Jasprit Bumrah will be crucial for the team. If India has to stage a comeback into the series, the pacer needs to play a vital role. He was the lone warrior for his team with the ball in the last game but unfortunately didn’t get the desired support that he needed.

Jasprit Bumrah bowled great lines and lengths in the first IND vs SA game. He picked four wickets and was the only batter who seemed to have troubled the South African batters in their innings in Centurion. 

Jasprit Bumrah would be hoping to continue his good form and replicate his performance from the last IND vs SA game. India hasn’t won’t a single series in South Africa and they couldn’t achieve the feat this time around. However, they will be having a golden opportunity to draw the series.
