Over 4.1 Jasprit Bumrah to V Kohli, FOUR, absolute rubbish from the rookie, this is short and wide, and Kohli hammers it in the air over point for an easy boundary

Over 4.2 Jasprit Bumrah to V Kohli, FOUR, way too short and wide, and Kohli this time goes sweetly at that, eases it infront of point for another boundary

Over 4.3 Jasprit Bumrah to V Kohli, no runs, much better stuff, short of length angling in and Kohli is forced to defend it to covers

Over 4.4 Jasprit Bumrah to V Kohli, FOUR, rubbish stuff again, banging the pitch mid way with his medium pace and Bumrah gets hammered flat in the air over extra covers for a third boundary of this over

The Umpire is signaling for some saw dust to be sprinkled in the bowler's footmarks. Bumrah is looking embarrassed especially with Sachin next to him at mid off. Tendulkar doing a lot of pep talking though. Coming to Jasprit Bumrah, his action looks very awkward, with both the arms pretty high like a leg spinner.
