India's 'Kohinoor' Jasprit Bumrah, provided the team with an early breakthrough on Day 2 of the first Test in Chennai, dismissing opening batter Shadman Islam for just 2 runs. Bumrah, who arguably remains the finest pace bowler in the world across formats, left Shadman stunned with a delivery that the Bangladesh expected to swing away from him. Shadman, facing the last delivery of Bumrah's first over, decided to leave the ball, hoping it would miss his stumps by a big margin. However, what the India pacer managed to do with the red cherry, left him stunned.
Shadman misjudged Bumrah's delivery massively, but the damage was done as the ball hit the top of his off-stump. Here's the video:

Bumrah changed his angle for the final delivery of the over, having bowled the previous 5 deliveries from the other side of the stumps. Unaware of what the ball would do, Shadman left the delivery. The rest, as they say, is history.
