Expo to showcase growth trajectory of pharma industry in India to be held in Greater Noida
An expo to showcase the pharmaceutical industry’s modernisation, innovation, and sustainability will be held in Greater Noida from November 26 to 28.
Former India batsman Sunil Gavaskar has lashed out at people who questioned and criticised Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling action after the latter became the third Indian bowler to pick up a hat-trick in Test cricket.
Moments after Bumrah scalped his maiden hat-trick on the second day of the ongoing Test against the West Indies at the Sabina Park, cricketer-turned commentator Ian Bishop made a shocking revelation.
While commentating on Saturday, Bishop stated that ‘some people’ had questioned the legality of Bumrah’s bowling action and said: “I cannot believe some people questioning the legality of Jasprit Bumrah’s action.”

“His action is unique but is well within the rules of the game. In fact, it’s one of the cleanest ones. Some people really need to look in the mirror” Bishop added,
To this, Gavaskar, who was also present in the commentary box, expressed his disbelief. “Can you name them? Who are these people questioning Bumrah’s action?” asked Gavaskar.
“Let’s look at it closely…A few steps and then he gathers momentum and finally releases the ball with a straight arm. Now tell me at what point his arm is bent? It’s perfectly fine”, said Gavaskar, adding, “People should really get a life.”
Bumrah, who recently became the quickest fast Indian bowler to pick 50 wickets, finished with figures of 6 for 27 in the first innings of the second Test, helping India bowl out West Indies for a paltry 117 runs.
India, who were bowled out for 416 in the first innings, declared their second innings at 168 for 4 with vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane (64*) and Hanuma Vihari (53*) scoring half-centuries.
Chasing a mammoth 468-run target, West Indies were 45 for 2 after Stumps on Day 3.
