Jasprit Bumrah looked off-color for the last few months in finding the rhythm and pace with the ball. Coming into the two-match Test series against South Africa for the opening clash at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, the focus was on the Ahmedabad-born to get back in his beast mode with the ball, which was missing during their previous series against the West Indies.
In the second session of the game, the right-arm pacer dismissed Tony de Zorzi for 24 runs in 55 balls with the help of one boundary and one over boundary. It was a celebratory appeal from the pacer before the southpaw reviewed the call and shouldered it to the third umpire.

It was a good length delivery from the right-arm pacer as the ball cut in off the seam from round the wicket and stayed a little low. De Zorzi was trapped right in the crease after being beaten on the inside edge of the bat. The impact was off, and the ball would have crashed into the middle.

Bumrah drew the first blood for the Blue Brigade with the wicket of Ryan Rickelton, who got beaten on the outside edge as the ball moved a little to break the stumps of the left-handed batter for 23 runs in 22 balls. The innings was decorated with four boundaries at a strike rate of 104.55.
Three balls later, the right-arm pacer bagged the wicket of Aiden Markram on 31 runs. The ball bounced awkwardly to hit the shoulder of the bat before the wicket-keeper, Rishabh Pant, grabbed the catch comfortably to send the batter back into the hut.
Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav also bagged the two wickets of Temba Bavuma and Wiaan Mulder. The former got an inside edge off his bat in the leg slip region before Mulder’s missed reverse sweep would have crashed into the middle of middle stump as the umpire raised his finger. South Africa kept struggling at 131/5.
