Jaspreet Bumrah under investigation even after a spectacular performance
Bumrah’s sheer presence inspires fear among opponents and hopes among Indian fans. Praised for his ability to produce game-turning mantras and tireless pressure, Bumrah has chosen five-diche Hols in this series in both Headingly and Lord’s tests, yet India lost both.

Former players and analysts have engaged in this contradiction: the world’s number 1 test bowler is famous for his strange action and the best – a lot of Indian necklaces? An important reason is that Bumrah often has to work without adequate bowling support, which increases a huge burden.
