Where does it happen that there is an India-Pakistan match, Jasprit Bumrah is also playing in it and there is little talk about him? But before the clash between the two teams in the T20 World Cup 2026, while there was a lot of discussion on some new players, Bumrah’s name was rarely heard. But when the match started, the legendary Indian fast bowler showed his magic and decided the fate of Pakistan in the very first over. In particular, he took his revenge against the Pakistani batsman who had hit a six on his first ball.
At R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo team india Batting first, he scored 175 runs. To achieve this target on the double bounce pitch of this stadium, Pakistan needed an explosive start from the top order batsmen. But this could not happen and in the very first over, opener Sahibzada Farhan returned to the pavilion without opening the account. This hunt was done by Hardik Pandya, whose over turned out to be maiden.
Bumrah took revenge for the six
Then Jasprit Bumrah came with the second over of the innings and a lot happened in this over itself. But the most special thing was the wonder of the first two balls. Pakistani opener Sam Ayub played a big shot on the very first ball of the over but the ball did not hit his bat properly. Despite this, after the shot was made, the ball went straight behind the wicket for 6 runs. This made the Pakistani camp and fans happy. But Bumrah, who plays with the mind of the batsmen, took revenge on the very next ball.
