Ganesan's Instagram Story featured a picture of a child holding a red cricket ball, accompanied by the words "England", "Jasprit Bumrah", and his bowling figures: "24.4-5-83-5".

Bumrah's Bowling Performance

At Leeds, Bumrah spearheaded the Indian bowling attack, claiming the wickets of Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Chris Woakes, and Josh Tongue, resulting in figures of 5/83. Mohammed Siraj (2/122) and Prasidh Krishna (3/128) were the other notable wicket-takers for India. England responded by posting 465 runs, narrowly missing India's first innings total of 471 by six runs.

Reflecting on the bowling conditions, Bumrah noted, "At this moment pretty good wicket to bat on. It is a little bit two paced, no big demons in wicket. Due to weather, new ball will swing but that is what you expect in Test cricket. We would like to get a big total and get that cushion."

Despite his impressive performance, Bumrah could have potentially secured more wickets if the Indian fielding had been sharper. Dropped catches proved costly for the team.

Bumrah's Perspective on Dropped Catches

Addressing the dropped catches, Bumrah remained philosophical. "Yeah, just for a second. But you understand that you can't really sit down and cry, isn't it? You have to move forward with the game. So, what I look to do is not to take it too far in my head and try and quickly forget it because all of them are also new to the game."

He further added, "Sometimes the ball is difficult to sight and nobody is dropping the catch purposely. Everybody is trying really hard. It does happen. So, I don't want to create a scene or put more pressure on the fielder that I'm angry, I'm kicking the box or I'm doing something. It's okay. It's part and parcel of the game. Obviously, if it (catches) would have been taken earlier, that's good, but people will learn from this experience."
