New off-spinner in town? Watch, Jasprit Bumrah mimics R Ashwin's action during practice ahead of 2nd Test

India TV News  

Team India are preparing for the second and final Test against South Africa in Cape Town, which hasn't been a happy hunting ground for the two-time WTC finalists and an interesting clip came out of their training on the eve of the match on Tuesday, January 2. Jasprit Bumrah, who was the best bowler for India in an otherwise forgettable outing for the visitors in the series opener in Centurion, tried his hand at off-spin as he mimicked one of the greatest ever, R Ashwin. Although he was part of the team when they faced South Africa in 2022 in the third Test and picked up a fifer, India lost the match as South Africa chased down 212 runs without any discomfort. On the other hand, Ashwin, who played the Boxing Day Test is likely to be left out of the series decider given Ravindra Jadeja, who is now declared fit, will walk into the playing XI.
