As he walked into the Newlands outfield on Monday morning in preparation for the second Test starting on Wednesday, it is impossible that Jasprit Bumrah did not reset the mental clock and think back six years in time, when he won his maiden Test cap.
For nearly two years till then, Bumrah had been pigeonholed as a white-ball specialist, plying his wares in ODI and T20 cricket, but captain Virat Kohli, head coach Ravi Shastri and bowling coach Bharat Arun had always pegged him as a match-winner in Tests too. It was just a question of when and where to blood him in the five-day format.
