Despite losing the first two Tests of the series, the only silver lining for the Indian team was the consistent bowling performances. India's bowling attack looked very potent even without the service of their premier bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah.

After recovering from the injury, Bumrah finally got the chance in the playing XI in the third Test. With his addition, the bowling line-up got a big boost. As expected, Bumrah did not disappoint anyone and picked up the important wickets in this match.

Bumrah picked up two wickets in the first innings while in the second innings he picked up a 2nd five-wicket haul of his career. It was a crucial spell as Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes were looking to change the course of the match, and it was Bumrah who broke the important partnership.

Bumrah's defining spell in the second innings was one of the main factors which helped India in securing a big win.
