But in came Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, with other plans. Instead of trying to play out the overs and saving the match, or even playing with caution, the duo straight up went on an attacking mode, hitting boundaries and scoring runs quickly. The duo stitched a very important 77-run stand as India's lead has now extended to 259 runs at lunch. Mohammed Shami has completed an unbeaten half-century (52*) while Jasprit Bumrah has hit 30 important runs so far, Netizens were absolutely delighted with the duo's performance and reacted on Twitter.

Whatever be the outcome of this match, Bumrah and Shami have surely given India hope that their tail-enders can indeed be quite handy with the bat-something which would be a very important factor as the Test series progresses.
