NEW DELHI: Day 2 of the India vs England 1st Test at Headingley brought high drama, stellar performances, and a flood of hilarious memes, as Jasprit Bumrah led India’s bowling charge with sheer menace.

Despite India posting a formidable 471, it was England’s gritty response, and Bumrah’s brilliance, that stole the spotlight and the internet’s imagination.

Ollie Pope anchored England’s innings with a fighting century, finishing unbeaten on 100.

But his knock wasn’t without fortune. Surviving a fiery opening burst from Bumrah, Pope narrowly avoided lbw, was dropped twice, and edged several deliveries into no-man’s land.


The crowd may have held their breath, but social media had its own way of reacting, with memes poking fun at dropped catches, missed chances, and Bumrah’s almost-too-good-to-be-true spells.


Bumrah was a one-man demolition crew, accounting for all three English wickets, removing Crawley in the first over, then dismantling Duckett’s stumps, and later nicking off Joe Root .

Yet, perhaps the most dramatic moment came when he had Harry Brook caught in the final over, only for the delivery to be called a no-ball.

Social media lit up instantly with reactions, likening Bumrah’s overstepping to tragic love stories and unfinished revenge plots.










As Headingley saw fluctuating fortunes under moody skies, online, it was clear: Jasprit Bumrah not only lit up the field but also broke the internet.

Day 3 promises more action, but Day 2 undoubtedly belonged to Bumrah and the memes.
