Jasprit Bumrah was at his best in the nets ahead of the second IND vs SA Test as he bowled some great bowls and tested Indian batters a lot. However, apart from the high-intensity session, he also tried a few things. 

Jasprit Bumrah was seen imitating off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin’s bowling action. What caught the attention of many was he replicated his bowling action to perfection. He entertained his teammates with his antics.
