By his own admission, Jasprit Bumrah is no spring chicken and doesn’t have energy to celebrate like a 21-year-old.

No overt celebrations

Instead of overt celebrations, he is creating milestones, one game at a time and saving those stories for his son Angad’s grown-up years — like his 5-74 which will be on the Lord’s Honours board following a special spell on Day Two of the second Test against England.

The Indian pace spearhead reached the coveted milestone by castling Jofra Archer, but there were no over the top celebrations as one would expect. “Reality is I was tired. I can’t jump around like a 21-year-old. I was happy that I contributed. The name on the Honours Board feels good. It is something I can tell my son about when he is grown up,” said Bumrah.
