Twitter reactions on Jasprit Bumrah’s career-best figures: Twitter was joyous as the Indian fast bowler registered a six-wicket haul.

During the third day of the third Test of the ongoing India’s tour of Australia at Melbourne, India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah registered his career-best figures of 15.5-4-33-6 as India bowled out Australia on 151 in 66.5 overs.
In which is only his ninth Test, Bumrah has registered his third five-wicket haul. With all of them coming in different countries (South Africa, England and Australia), it speaks highly about the consistency of the 25-year old cricketer. Having made his debut this year, Bumrah has ended it on a memorable note.
Opening the bowling for India, Bumrah started to make an impression for his team in the first hour itself. After bowling partner Ishant Sharma drew first blood by dismissing Australia opening batsman Aaron Finch (8), Bumrah didn’t take much time in dismissing Marcus Harris (22).
Bumrah then made sure that the first session belonged to India as he dismissed Shaun Marsh (19) on the last delivery before lunch. A few overs into the second session, Bumrah castled Travis Head’s (20) stumps.
In what became a highlight of his spell, Bumrah removed the opposition’s tail within no time. Having found the edge of Australia captain Tim Paine’s (22) bat, Bumrah dismissed their No. 10 and No. 11 in Nathan Lyon (0) and Josh Hazlewood (0) in his subsequent over. Given his capability to dismiss the lower-order batsmen quickly, he is almost certain of becoming an answer to India’s long-standing problems with the tail-enders.
Bumrah’s magnificent spell saw him alluring numerous praises on social media platform Twitter. Read some of the tweets below:

So far this series, India’s fast bowlers have outclassed their Aussie counterparts. And Bumrah has been the pick of them all.

It’s been a virtuoso performance from Bumrah. The full range: yorkers, bouncers, pace, change of pace, movement and control.

Indian fast bowlers have gotten more from the surfaces than their Australian counterparts. And Bumrah has been the best bowler by a fair margin…. #AusvInd #7cricket @7Cricket

For me it’s Bumrah and Rabada.

Bumrah wipes off nearly 30 clicks. Holy smokes. What a piece of bowling on the stroke of lunch. World class. Poor SMarsh, Bradman ain’t even keeping that out. #AUSvIND

That’s the face of a batsman who knows he has been outsmarted by the bowler. What a ball… how good was that by Bumrah… #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/tdCVdnXNVw

Bumrah is the bowling equivalent of the 360 degrees batsman. #AUDvIND #MatchDay

India bossing Aus in Melbourne. Bumrah on fire with 3 wickets. Aus 94-5 in reply to India’s 443-7 decl. Could this lead to India’s first ever series win over Aus in Aus? Final Test in Sydney to come where it’ll spin miles. Need Ashwin to be fit to clinch series 3-1 #INDvAUS

India didn’t enforce the follow on because Dravid and VVS said not to do it.

Greatest Indian fast bowler of all time?#Bumrah
— Ramanatha Iyer (@iyyerram) December 28, 2018
What an outstanding bowling effort from India and a really special effort from Jasprit Bumrah. He has been the best bowler on display across both sides by some distance and has put India in a really dominating position #AusvInd pic.twitter.com/sP3A05b4Ti
