Kingston: Jasprit Bumrah was on fire as he became only the third Indian along with Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan to take a hat-trick in Test cricket when he took the wickets Darren Bravo, Shamarh Brooks and Roston Chase off successive deliveries in his fourth over of the first innings of 2nd Test match against West Indies at Kingston on Saturday.
Bumrah displayed exceptional bowling skills as he also went on to take his fifth five-wicket haul in Test cricket. This was Bumrah's second five-wicket haul in two innings as the Indian speedster had scalped a five-wicket haul in the second innings of the first Test against the West Indies in Antigua.
Bravo was caught by KL Rahul at second slip, Brooks trapped leg-before -- a decision he reviewed but was shown to be correct -- and then Indian captain Virat Kohli reviewed a not out verdict by standing umpire Paul Reiffel to an appeal against new batsman Chase. Bumrah fiery spell left the hosts tattering at 87 for 7 at the end of Day 2.
Earlier, riding on Hanuma Vihari maiden Test ton (111) and Ishant Sharma's first Test fifty, India set a daunting first innings total of 416.
Stumps and what a day it has been for India!
