NEW DELHI: Day 2 of the India vs England 1st Test at Headingley brought high drama, stellar performances, and a flood of hilarious memes, as Jasprit Bumrah led India’s bowling charge with sheer menace.Despite India posting a formidable 471, it was England’s gritty response, and Bumrah’s brilliance, that stole the spotlight and the internet’s imagination.Ollie Pope anchored England’s innings with a fighting century, finishing unbeaten on 100.But his knock wasn’t without fortune. Surviving a fiery opening burst from Bumrah, Pope narrowly avoided lbw, was dropped twice, and edged several deliveries into no-man’s land.The crowd may have held their breath, but social media had its own way of reacting, with memes poking fun at dropped catches, missed chances, and Bumrah’s almost-too-good-to-be-true spells.Bumrah was a one-man demolition crew, accounting for all three English wickets, removing Crawley in the first over, then dismantling Duckett’s stumps, and later nicking off Joe Root Yet, perhaps the most dramatic moment came when he had Harry Brook caught in the final over, only for the delivery to be called a no-ball.Social media lit up instantly with reactions, likening Bumrah’s overstepping to tragic love stories and unfinished revenge plots.As Headingley saw fluctuating fortunes under moody skies, online, it was clear: Jasprit Bumrah not only lit up the field but also broke the internet.Day 3 promises more action, but Day 2 undoubtedly belonged to Bumrah and the memes.
