WATCH: Jasprit Bumrah’s uncanny resemblance as he imitates Ravichandran Ashwin’s bowling action

India will lock horns with South Africa for the last time of India’s tour of South Africa in the second Test match in Cape Town from 3rd January to 7th January 2024. After a miserable loss in the first Test match, the team will see redemption and will look forward to ending the second match with a win or a draw to tie the series. 

Ahead of the second Test match, Jasprit Bumrah was seen practising bowling in Ravichandran Ashwin’s bowling style in a fun video posted by Star Sports. Bumrah gave an uncanny resemblance in his action along with also the expression of the spinner after he bowls his delivery.

Rohit Sharma on India’s loss against South Africa in 1st Test 

In the post-match ceremony of the first Test Match, Rohit Sharma after the loss said, “We were not good enough to win. Having been put into bat, KL batted well to get us that score but then we didn’t exploit the conditions with the ball and then again didn’t show up today with the bat. If we have to win Test matches, we have to come together collectively and we didn’t do that. Guys have come here before, we know what to expect and everyone has their plan.

“Our batters were challenged and we didn’t adapt well. This is a boundary-scoring ground, we saw them score many but we need to understand the opposition and their strengths as well. We didn’t bat well in both innings, that’s why we stand here. Not too many positives to finish the game within 3 days, but KL showed what we need to do on this sort of pitch,” he discussed. 

While looking ahead at the second test match, Rohit further added, “Our bowlers, a lot of these guys haven’t been here before so I don’t want to be too critical. Important for us to regroup, we go through these times as sportsmen and we need to be ready for the next Test now.”
