[Watch] Jasprit Bumrah draws first blood for India with a sensational delivery to knock over Reeza Hendricks in IND vs SA T20 World Cup final

Star speedster Jasprit Bumrah once again got India off to a terrific start with the ball in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa in Barbados on Saturday, June 29. Bumrah dismissed opener Reeza Hendricks with an absolute peach for four runs off just five balls.

The ball pitched on a good length and Hendricks shaped himself to play the line of the delivery. However, it seamed away and squared up the batter, hitting the top of the off-stump.

Here's a video of the dismissal:

The reaction from Reeza Hendricks to the delivery from Jasprit Bumrah was understandable as there wasn't much that he could have done about it. The Men in Blue got the early wicket that they desperately needed in their defense of 176/7.

South Africa consolidate after early strikes from Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh

Arshdeep Singh backed up a brilliant start from Jasprit Bumrah with the wicket of Aiden Markram. The South African skipper edged it behind to Rishabh Pant in a bid to play the cover drive away from the body.

The Proteas needed someone to set the tone and Tristan Stubbs has come out with the right intent. Quinton de Kock has also started to get going from his end and the partnership between the duo has crossed the 50-run mark.

There isn't much help for the spinners in the pitch and the challenge for the Men in Blue would now be to break this partnership and get the new batter in. South Africa, on the other hand, will want this partnership to bat as deep as possible and set it up for the big hitters like Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller to follow.

South Africa's left-hand right-hand combination is becoming a challenge for skipper Rohit Sharma as well as they are using the breeze well in their strokeplay.
