Nothing is more pleasing to eyes than the sight of flying stumps for a bowler and it becomes even more pleasing when he ends a big partnership with such a delivery.
After being on the backfoot for almost two and a half days, Bangladesh frustrated India in the final session of the third day with a spirited fightback. The team was reeling at 235/6 before Mehedi Hasan joined his captain Mushfiqur Rahim in the middle to forge an unbeaten partnership of 87 runs. Both of them played spinners with ease and registered half-centuries.
India needed a strong start on the penultimate day of the match to strengthen their grip and Bhuvneshwar Kumar stepped up to give them exactly what they needed. The Uttar Pradesh seamer bowled a peach of a delivery to end Mehedi Hasan’s gritty innings in the very first over of the day. Mehedi was totally clueless against Bhuvneshwar’s inswinging delivery as he watched his leg-stump go on a cartwheel.
Here is a clip of that brilliant delivery:
