| All weather Bumrah ability to get reverse swing leaves Root, Mhambrey gushing | | | Agencies
NEW DELHI, Jan 28: Amid the focus on spinners, pacer Jasprit Bumrah on Saturday made a statement of his skills bagging two crucial wickets that helped India keep pace with England on the third day of the first Test here.
In a dazzling display of skill and ability to extract reverse swing, Bumrah dismissed Ben Duckett and Joe Root in the middle session of the day.
India's bowling coach Paras Mhambrey was stating the obvious when he rated Bumrah as an all-weather bowler.
"Bumrah was bowling very well and was moving the ball both ways. That's the quality he has. He is a special bowler and we have seen what he can do in overseas conditions.
He has not played much (Test) cricket in India. Every time he turns up, he gives his best. It's pure skills," he said.
Mhambrey, however, said Bumrah's influence percolates to the dressing room too as one of the lead thinkers.
"The dressing room conversations he has, the energy he brings on to the field…he is a part of the discussion when the captain and support staff are around, he's right there with all suggestions," said Mhambrey.
Root was all admiration for Bumrah's impressive skill sets and said his dismissal was a big moment in the context of this Test match.
