Kingston: "I owe my hat-trick to the captain," Jasprit Bumrah told an enamoured Virat Kohli after blowing away the West Indies with his heady cocktail of line and length, pace and bounce. Known as much for his infectious energy as for his incredible batting, Kohli was caught on the stump mic saying, "What a bowler, man! What a bowler," after Bumrah removed one the West Indies batsmen.
Part of the credit for Bumrah's hat-trick goes to skipper Kohli, who insisted on a review after Roston Chase, his third victim, was initially given not out by the on-field umpire Paul Reiffel. The review was correct as Bumrah became only the third Indian to claim a hat-trick in Test cricket after Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan.
