'What a catch': Captain Jasprit Bumrah's blinder to dismiss Ben Stokes gets Twitter excited, Virender Sehwag reacts
Stokes was handed a reprieve by Shardul Thakur earlier in the day after he missed a dolly fielding inside the 30-yard-cicle. Bumrah too handed Stokes a second opportunity before plucking a blinder in the following delivery, which left Twitter in a tizzy.
Jasprit Bumrah is having a top show in his first Test as a captain in the ongoing encounter between India and England at Edgbaston. The premier seamer first pounced the Three Lions with the bat, smashing Stuart Broad all over the park to etch a world record under his name.

And just when we thought we've seen enough of Bumrah, the 28-year-old pulled a stunner while fielding at mid-on on Day 3. IND vs ENG 5th Test Day 3 LIVE score updates
