The ongoing final test between England & India at Edgbaston has been nothing short of a dream for debutant captain Jasprit Bumrah. After scripting history with his bat, the bowler wreaked havoc with his bowling on day 2, Bumrah grabbed a stunning catch on day 3 which shocked Ben Stokes, leaving him open-mouthed. Taken on Shardul Thakur's bowling, this catch by Bumrah is taking the cricket fans on the internet by storm.
Ben Stokes tried to take on the Indian bowling in an aggressive manner but seemed clueless against Jasprit Bumrah. Along with Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes added 66 runs for the sixth wicket and it seemed like this pair would take the game away from the Indians. However, 'partnership breaker' Shardul Thakur came into the attack and showed his expertise, dismissing English captain Ben Stokes.
This was the first over by Shardul Thakur and after getting a lifeline by Bumrah on the third delivery and Ben Stokes decided to go for another big shot on the next delivery. Stokes slapped the ball hard in the air towards mid-off, but Bumrah pulled off an excellent dive to complete the catch and dismiss Ben Stokes.
