Top 5 game-changing spells by Indians in Tests in 2024
India was involved in a total of 15 Tests throughout 2024.
1. Bumrah vs England (6/45 in 15.5 overs, Visakhapatnam)
The second Test arrived shortly after the Indians had let the series-opener slip away after being in the driver's seat for the first half of the fixture. Electing to bat first, India put up 396 on the board in 112 overs. Looking at the manner England started their innings, it felt as if it would be a long day at work for India. With the openers dismissed by the spinners, Bumrah joined the action to get the better of Root for the eighth time in Tests.
The reverse-swinging delivery to Pope stood out as perhaps the ball of the series. The POTM of the first game was undone by a ripping in-swinger of a delivery. Bairstow and Stokes were the pace-bowling kingpins' third and fourth wickets, respectively. Bumrah's fifth and sixth innings were the final couple of England wickets to fall. The home side made an emphatic comeback in the series by winning the game by 106 runs.
