Harit N JoshiWorld No. 1, street-smart, complete package, world's most feared. Accolades like these can cause athletes to get carried away. But not Jasprit Bumrah. Billed as one of the top bowlers to watch out for in the World Cup, the lanky pacer made an impactful debut in the tournament during India's opening clash of the tournament against South Africa on Wednesday here at the Ageas Bowl.

Bumrah was instrumental in restricting South Africa to 227-9 by claiming the wickets of Hashim Amla (6) and Quinton de Kock (10) in his first five overs. His first spell of 5-0-13-2 was enough to rattle the already under-pressure South African batsmen. He eventually finished with 2-35.
