Star Pacer of Team India Jasprit Bumrah achieves this unique Cricket World Cup match against Australia
Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah of team India provided his team with their first breakthrough in the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Australia on Sunday in Chennai. The star India pacer dismissed opener Mitchell Marsh for a duck in the third over of the innings. Marsh, who had opened along with David Warner, got bamboozled by the extra bounce of Bumrah's delivery and ended up giving a catch to Virat Kohli at the slip. It was the first time in the history of ODI World Cups that India had managed to dismiss an opening batter from Australia for a duck.
With that catch, Kohli 15 surpassed former India spinner Anil Kumble's 14 record of having the most number of catches in the ODI World Cup.
Apart from Kohli, it was also a historic feat for Bumrah, who became the first Indian bowler to dismiss an Australian opener for duck in the history of the ODI World Cup. Bumrha provided India with the early breakthrough that set the tone for the team.
