Srinagar: Team India star Jasprit Bumrah made a stunning return to International Cricket with a sensational opening over against Ireland in the first T20I on Friday.
Having being out of action due to back injury for more than 11 months , Bumrah is leading Team India in the series.
Bumrah opening the over started the proceedings by conceding a boundary. The ball was a floater as former Irish captain Andrew Balbirnie managed to hit it for a boundary towards square-leg.
But Bumrah showing what he is and why is reckoned highly cleaned up Balbirnie thanks to an in-swinger who missed bat and pad and went on to hit the stumps.
Lorcan Tucker came in at Number 3 for Ireland and managed to concede dots in the first two balls of his innings. Bumrah kept it full and on the on-side for the third delivery in his over and brought his trademark in-swinging yorker which almost got him the wicket.
But Bumrah kept the pressure going as he picked up his second wicket in the over cleaning up Tucker. He bowled another full delivery which was swinging into the right-hander which Tucker attempted to scoop but mistimed it to be an easy catch for the wicketkeeper, Sanju Samson.
