KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Jasprit Bumrah produced a moment that will be remembered for a long time in the blockbuster India-Pakistan fixture in the 2023 World Cup at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday (October 14). The Indian bowlers produced a sensational effort after skipper Rohit Sharma took the bold call and decided to field first.

Jasprit Bumrah was the star of the show, with a stunning spell that backed up the brilliance of Kuldeep Yadav. Bumrah got the big wicket from Mohammed Rizwan, who made a knock of 49. Rizwan was in brilliant form coming into the game, having made a half-century against the Netherlands and a ton against Sri Lanka.

Bumrah bowled a stunning delivery to Rizwan with what is likely to go down among the best bowls of the tournament. Bumrah decieved Rizwan with a stunning slower ball that sent the Ahmedabad crowd into a frenzy. Bumrah’s brilliance was a reminder of his epic deliveries to dismiss Shaun Marsh at the MCG in 2018 and Ollie Robinson at Lord’s in 2021.

For Pakistan, Babar Azam was the top scorer with a knock of 50 in 58 balls, while Rizwan took 69 balls to score 49.
