Jasprit Bumrah has been sorely missed by the Indian team in recent games as the pacer was ruled out through injury but upon his return in the second T20I against Australia in Nagpur on Friday, Bumrah reminded fans of his true class.
The 28-year-old claimed Australian skipper Aaron Finch's wicket by bowling a pin-point yorker and even the batsman himself acknowledged Bumrah's effort by applauding after his dismissal.
As soon as Bumrah castled Finch's stumps, the veteran was seen walking away towards the dugout, but not before he applauded Bumrah's accurate yorker.

Speaking after the end of the match, skipper Rohit Sharma lauded Bumrah for his effort after coming from a lengthy injury layoff.
"Coming back after a couple of months, the back injury can be tricky. I am not going to talk too much about how he bowled. Got us the crucial wicket. As a team we are not going to analyse too much. Just want him to come and enjoy," he said.
India won the contest by six wickets as Rohit remained unbeaten at 46, helping his side chase down the required target of 91 runs.
