Twitter reactions on Jasprit Bumrah's career-best figures

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:
