A cute reaction of India pacer Jasprit Bumrah while being praised for his bowling by ex-player Ravi Shastri on-air has gone viral on social media. Shastri was doing commentary on Day 3 of the game at Edgbaston, Birmingham. At that point, England trailed India by 470 runs. "Seeing the situation India in are at the moment. With England trailing by 470 runs, you can imagine if Jasprit was out there in the middle with that many runs on the board," he said as the camera turned towards Bumrah, who was there at the venue. Notably, Bumrah, who played an important role for India in the first Test, missed the second game as a part of workload management. Ahead of the five-match Test series against England, India's chief selector Ajit Agarkar had already made it clear that Bumrah would not play all the games on the tour. "No Bumrah. Just to manage his workload. Third Test being at Lord's, we think there'll be more in that pitch so we'll use him there," said India's Test captain Shubman Gill after the toss for the second game. Notably, Bumrah played all the five Tests in the 2024-25 series against Australia and ended up being injured and missed action for some months post that. India made three changes to the playing XI for the second Test against England at Edgbaston, with Jasprit Bumrah's exclusion unarguably being the highlight. While that was an expected change, what surprised many that India dropped Sai Sudharsan, who made his debut in the series opener but failed to make an impact. He made way for a spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar.

Written by Atharva Jori Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field, at the centre of which is a 22-yard (20-metre; 66-foot) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails (small sticks) balanced on three stumps. Two players from the batting team, the striker and nonstriker, stand in front of either wicket holding bats, while one player from the fielding team, the bowler, bowls the ball toward the striker's wicket from the opposite end of the pitch. The striker's goal is to hit the bowled ball with the bat and then switch places with the nonstriker, with the batting team scoring one run for each of these exchanges. Runs are also scored when the ball reaches the boundary of the field or when the ball is bowled illegally. The fielding team aims to prevent runs by dismissing batters (so they are "out"). Dismissal can occur in various ways, including being bowled (when the ball hits the striker's wicket and dislodge...
