Jasprit Bumrah's rise in limited-overs cricket is a story for the fairy tales. From mastering the yorkers to adding the slower balls and cutters to his repertoire to opening the bowling attack and doing well, Bumrah has been a quick learner. He has adapted quite well to the Indian setup and his multiple roles have served them quite well in recent times.

In the third ODI at Pallekele, Bumrah stamped his presence with the new ball, grabbing the two vital wickets of Niroshan Dickwella and Kusal Mendis. Bumrah owes a part of the Mendis scalp to Rohit Sharma who took an outstanding catch to send the young batsman back. He went on to dismiss the settled Lahiru Thirimanne before cleaning up the stumps a couple more times to complete his maiden five-for in ODIs.
