India pacer Jasprit Bumrah wasn't a happy man as KS Bharat's advice to skipper Rohit Sharma cost him the wicket of England batter Ben Duckett on Day 3 of the first Test at Hyderabad. Bumrah seemed to have trapped Duckett in front of the stumps, prompting a loud appeal but the umpire turned it down.

Rohit went with Bharat's suggestion.

England cricket team skipper Ben Stokes was left stunned and even he could not help but appreciate the brilliant delivery from Jasprit Bumrah that dismissed him on Day 1 of the first Test match against India in Hyderabad on Thursday.

From 450/9 To 'Two Day Game': Kevin Pietersen Trolled For India vs England 1st Test Prediction

Former England cricket team batter Kevin Pietersen was trolled heavily on social media by ex-India opener Wasim Jaffer after his prediction regarding England's batting on Day 1 of the first Test match against India on Thursday went horribly wrong. At the start of day's play, Pietersen took to social media to post that he believes England will declare their innings on 450/9. However, Ben Stokes was the only England batter to cross the 50-run mark as Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets each to bowl out the visitors for 246 in the third session. Jaffer was quick to react to Pietersen's prediction on X (formerly called Twitter) and his witty reply even had a reference to Dinesh Karthik.

Legendary South Africa cricket team star AB De Villiers took a sly dig at England's 'Bazball' approach while praising India for their batting display on Day 1 of the first Test match in Hyderabad on Thursday. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets each to bundle out England for just 246 before posting 119/1 in 23 overs. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal began the innings in aggressive fashion and De Villiers said that more than 'Bazball', it was a good reading of the situation by the openers.

"Did Not Think Indian Openers Will Be...": England Star's Honest Take

Opener Ben Duckett believed that England's first innings total of 246 was above par and said they were not expecting Indian openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma to play belligerent cricket from the word go on the first day of the first Test on Thursday. At stumps, India were placed at 119 for one with Jaiswal making a quick, unbeaten 76 and he shared a fine 80-run stand with Rohit in just 12.2 overs. "I think we're over par. It was a tricky Day 1 pitch with consistent spin from earlier on. Stokes was fantastic. I just said come down Day 3, Day 4, that could be a match winning knock if that pitch keeps getting harder to bat on," said Duckett in the post-day press meet.
