BGT 2024-25: Great Seeing Phenomenal Bumrah All Fired Up, Says Manjrekar
Sydney Cricket Ground: India skipper Jasprit Bumrah, who is known for his calm and composure, showcased a ‘rare’ side of him when things took a fiery turn in the last over of Day 1 of the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at the Sydney Cricket Ground here on Friday. Young batter Sam Konstas, who has constantly gotten under the skin of Indian players since his debut in the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, was involved in an animated chat with Bumrah from the non-striker end.
However, it was the Indian pacer who had the last laugh on the very next delivery, on the final ball of the day, as Bumrah found the outside edge of Usman Khawaja's bat and the catch was taken by K.L Rahul at second slip to dismiss the batter for two. Interestingly, a pumped-up Bumrah gave a send-off instead to Konstas, with the Indian fielders joining in, as the visitors’ had some cheers at the end of a tough day.
"Yeah, they're all fired up, and it's great to see, right at the end of a long series, this kind of emotion. I mean, Bumrah has been phenomenal, and 'great' doesn’t seem to be enough to describe his performance as a bowler. To see him fired up in this fashion is quite rare.
