Jasprit Bumrah rediscovers his mojo, takes Maxwell by surprise with picture-perfect yorker

Jasprit Bumrah finally managed to rediscover his rhythm with the ball in hand during the third and final ODI against Australia at the Manuka Oval, Canberra on Wednesday. He had finished with figures of 1/73 and had followed it up with 1/79 in the second game. However, it seems that he might have peaked just at the right time in this gruelling bilateral series, and what really stood out here was that he disturbed the dangerous Glenn Maxwell's timber with an exceptional yorker when he was threatening to take the game away from India. 

'Outta Nowhere'

This happened in the 45th over of Australia's run chase. The visitors needed to do something special before the death overs as the destructive power-hitter was making his bat do the talking by whacking the bowlers to all parts of the Manuka Oval and that is when skipper Virat Kohli handed over the responsibility to Jasprit Bumrah and he lived up to his captain's expectations.

On the third ball of that over, 'Boom Boom' had bowled a picture-perfect yorker on the line of off and middle stumps. Nonetheless, the solid middle-order batsman accepted the challenge and decided to take the bowler to the cleaners but such was the class of the delivery that not only could the 'Big Show' get his bat on the ball but his furniture was disturbed as well. The 2015 World Cup winner played a game-changing innings to near perfection with a 38-ball 59 at a strike rate of 155.26 including three boundaries and four maximums but Jasprit ensured that it did not turn out to be a match-winning one.
