Bumrah and Taskin (Source-X)
Team India took a commanding lead on the 2nd day of the opening Test versus Bangladesh in Chennai. Pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah was the best bowler for the home team with figures of 4/50 from his 11 overs. Thanks to the efforts of the right-arm pacer, India took a huge lead of 227 runs going into the 2nd innings.
Taskin Ahmed came out to bat and looked to hang around with Mehidy Hasan Miraz in avoiding the follow on. That’s when the Bangladeshi pacer was given a serious working over by Bumrah. India’s ace pacer bowled a couple of short balls to Taskin and hit him on his body couple of times.

In the 4th ball of the 43rd over, Bumrah bowled a terrific yorker to dismiss the Bangladeshi pacer. Taskin Ahmed was out for 11 off 21 balls with 1 four as he saw his middle-stump being pegged back.
