Jasprit Bumrah revealed his unique bowling technique, explaining that he relies on his middle finger to generate swing. Unlike many bowlers who use their index finger, Bumrah flicks the ball with his middle finger to achieve both outswing and inswing.

As Jasprit Bumrah strode on to the Headingley turf, the crowd was pregnant with expectation. It was not merely that play was about to resume, with England beginning their innings – but that the ball would be thrust into the hands of one of the most remarkable bowlers in Test match history.
