India vs West Indies: Bumrah Removes Hetmyer and Chase in Game-Changing Over

Just when West Indies looked ready to take control of the match at Eden Gardens, Jasprit Bumrah reminded everyone why big tournaments bend to his rhythm.

At 102/2, with momentum tilting towards the visitors, Bumrah was brought back into the attack. What followed was a game-shifting over that brought Eden Gardens back to life.

India vs West Indies

First, Shimron Hetmyer - blazing at 27 off just 12 balls - feathered one through to Sanju Samson. The on-field call needed confirmation, but the review showed a clear spike. Gone.

Moments later, Roston Chase, who had steadied and attacked in equal measure for his 40 off 25, followed. Two set batters. One over. Momentum flipped.

West Indies, cruising and dangerous, suddenly looked exposed.

Fans in awe of The Bumrah Effect at India vs West Indies

This wasn't just about two wickets. It was about timing. India were searching for control. West Indies were accelerating. Bumrah delivered the breakthrough and the choke in the same breath.

It also continued a familiar pattern: Bumrah's dominance over Hetmyer in T20 cricket. The left-hander has struggled against his precision before, and the script didn't change here.

Social media lit up instantly.

"Never doubt on Jasprit Bumrah."

Cricketwallah posted: "Bumrah is a class apart. Two wickets in an over to send WI tumbling from a position of strength to high vulnerability."

Another fan summed it up perfectly: "Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Simply the best in the business by a long way."

Journalist Amol Karhadkar added: "The format doesn't matter. Neither does the stage. Jasprit Bumrah is a precious commodity. Period!"

Knockout matches often hinge on a single spell. A single over. A single bowler rising above the noise. At Eden Gardens, with India's semifinal hopes on the line, Jasprit Bumrah delivered exactly that.
