Watch: Jasprit Bumrah Imitates Ravichandran Ashwin's Bowling Action. Internet Can't Keep Calm
Indian cricket team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah perfectly imitated teammate Ravichandran Ashwin's bowling action at the nets ahead of the second Test match against South Africa on Tuesday. During the bowling session at the nets, Bumrah was caught bowling spin using Ashwin's action and the video of the incident has gone viral on social media. The fast bowler earned a lot of praise online from the social media users with many of them marveling over how much he was able to replicate the action.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma feels that it is each and every ICC member's duty to protect the sanctity of Test cricket as it remains the ultimate format.
Cricket South Africa selected seven uncapped players, including an inexperienced first timer Neil Brand, for the upcoming tour of New Zealand to accommodate top stars for the cash-rich SA20, which is coinciding with the Test series.
All the SA20 franchises are owned by IPL team owners and the move to prioritize franchise cricket has earned widespread criticism.

“For me, Test remains ultimate challenge and we would like to see best players playing that format but everyone has own problems to deal with and make sure there is a reason behind it,” Rohit reacted when asked about the CSA move.
Haha! He was spot on except for the run up part.
But he was clear that he always wants top players to play Tests.
Bumrah should play as spinner in subcontinent and pacer in SENA. That will help him
“I don't know what the reason is (for SA not picking senior players) and in Test cricket you want to see best players being available but like I said I don't know what internal discussions are
