IND vs ENG: Reverse sweep to Bumrah? Joe Root faces consequences
Joe Root's poor form continued as he attempted to play a reverse sweep against Jasprit Bumrah which backfired in IND vs ENG 3rd Test

England batter Joe Root’s lean run continues as he fell to Jasprit Bumrah for the 9th time in IND vs ENG 3rd Test. The ex-England skipper made a cheeky attempt to reverse sweep Bumrah’s delivery.

IND vs ENG: Root perishes as Bumrah stikes!

Instead of finding the middle of the bat, the ball managed to find the edge. The delivery flew to Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second slips and he made no mistake in taking a comfortable catch.

In 21 innings, Bumrah has dismissed Root 9 times. The batter has managed to score only 254 runs against the pacer, averaging 28.22.

Day 3 of the 3rd Test between India and England promises a thrilling battle as the hosts face the might of “Bazball” without their key spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.
