Indian star pacer Jasprit Bumrah put the West Indies on the back foot once again, sending Justin Greaves and Johann Layne back to the pavilion in spectacular fashion on the opening day of the ongoing two-match Test series opener at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The Indian fast bowler delivered a perfectly targeted yorker, straight at the base of the off-stump, leaving Justin Greaves helpless. However, Greaves tried hard to defend, but the ball sneaked under his bat and crashed into the off-stumps, ending his innings at 32 off 48 balls.

After removing Greaves in the 39th over, Jasprit Bumrah has almost wrapped up the West Indies innings in style, clean bowling young debutant Johann Layne for just 1 run in the 41st over. The Indian pacer delivered another pinpoint yorker, perfectly aimed at the stumps, and Layne had no answer.
