Day Two Saturday Aug 31,2019 @Sabina Park,Kingston,Jamaica
After Hanuma Vihari 111(225 Balls 4x16)scored his first Test ton and Ishant Sharma 57(80 Balls 4x7)his maiden Test fifty to lift India to 416 in the afternoon, Jasprit Bumrah tore through the West Indies batting to rip out six of the seven wickets that fell in the session, including a hat-trick that sent back Darren Bravo, Shamarh Brooks and Roston Chase.
Jasprit Bumrah was also only the third bowler to take a hat-trick in West Indies, after Jermaine Lawson and Matthew Hoggard and the 3rs Indian to take a hat trick Test Match after Harbhajan Singh(2001)and Irfan Pathan(2006)
Harbhajan Singh vs. Australia, 2001
The Australian cricket team of 2001 was a side stacked with quality and the ability to win Test matches on a regular basis. This was something on show during the first Test of that series as the Steve Waugh-led side hammered India in Mumbai.
The second Test was at Eden Gardens, Kolkata and the away side were sitting pretty at 254/4 when Harbhajan Singh turned the match completely on its head. He first trapped Ricky Ponting with a flatter delivery that had the future Australia skipper caught right in front of the stumps.
Adam Gilchrist was dismissed in similar fashion although replays suggested a thick inside edge had guided the ball onto his pads. Shane Warne was the next man to take guard and Harbhajan changed his tactics for him. Instead of looking to bowl it flat, he gave the ball a bit of flight and got it to turn away from Warne.
Warne attempted a flick off the pads but Sadagopan Ramesh – who had just been put at forward short leg by Sourav Ganguly – pulled off an acrobatic catch to complete Harbhajan’s hat-trick. The match is mostly remembered for VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid’s epic partnership that handed India an unlikely win but it was Harbhajan who rallied the troops with his hat-trick.
Irfan Pathan vs. Pakistan, 2006
Irfan Pathan wrote his name into the history books during India’s tour of Pakistan in 2006. Skipper Rahul Dravid won the toss and chose to field in the third Test, throwing the new ball to Pathan.
The first wicket came courtesy of a well-placed out-swinger that Butt tentatively poked at, getting an edge that flew into Dravid’s hands in the slip cordon.
Younis Khan was the next man in and Pathan bowled a similar ball to him first up, only this time it swung in to the right-hander. Younis was unable to read the ball and played down the wrong line, with the ball going past his bat and rapping him on the pads. The umpire had no hesitation in raising the finger.
Mohammad Yusuf was also served up a similar delivery but this time the ball went into the gap between his bat and pads and crashed into his stumps.
Pakistan would have the last laugh in this match though, fighting back from the early setback and beating India by a massive 341 runs.
He got Bravo to nick one to KL Rahul at second slip before Brooks was trapped lbw. Chase looked to flick one towards mid-wicket and was wrapped on the pads but the umpire turned the appeal down, however, Kohli opted to review and the decision was overturned.
The hat-trick reduced West Indies to 13/4.
He also got the first wicket of John Campbell and soon completed a five-for by removing Kraigg Braithwaite. However, he limped off the field later clutching his calf, ending with figures of 5/12.
His hat-trick was the 44th in Test history and the first since England spinner Moeen Ali against South Africa in 2017.
At close of play on Day Two Saturday Aug 31,West Indies were 87/7 and Jasprit Bumrah with bowling figures of 6/20(11.1 Overs)
