[Watch] Jasprit Bumrah traps Devon Conway lbw for his second wicket on Day 5 of IND vs NZ 2024 1st Test
Team India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah struck for the second time on Day 5 of the opening Test against New Zealand at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The right-arm speedster got the better of Devon Conway, trapping him lbw after coming from around the wicket.
The dismissal came in Bumrah's seventh over and the 13th of the innings. The opening delivery resulted in a dot and Conway managed to put the second away for a boundary. With the third ball moving sharply after pitching, the southpaw missed it and it smashed into the back pad. The Ahmedabad-born speedster convinced Rohit Sharma to take the review and replays showed three reds.
The 30-year-old had dismissed visiting captain Tom Latham in the first over of the day by also trapping him lbw. Latham had survived a close lbw shout from Bumrah late on Day 4, with replays showing that the ball pitched outside leg.
New Zealand win comfortably despite Jasprit Bumrah's indefatigable spell in Bengaluru
The Indian captain had decided to send down eight overs on the trot from his leading fast bowler, who finished with figures of 8-1-29-2. The task became a lot more comfortable for the tourists once he was out of the attack as Will Young and Rachin Ravindra milked runs easily.
Young, who scored an enterprising 33 in the first innings, stayed unbeaten on 48 and hit the winning runs. Ravindra gave him excellent company at the other end, staying unbeaten on 39 after an outstanding 134 in their opening dig. After being skittled for 46 in the first innings, Team India staged a sensational fightback in their second with Sarfaraz Khan leading the way by scoring his maiden Test century (150).
However, the home side suffered another batting collapse to set the Kiwis a modest 107-run target. The eight-wicket win was only New Zealand's third Test victory on Indian soil and first since 1988.
