On the biggest day of Indian sports history, cricket is almost obliged to provide a performance that can approach the highest Tokyo Neeraj Chopra, Bajrang Punia and Aditi Ashok.
And Jasprit Burrah just did it with a fast bowling spell inspired at Nottingham when India found themselves well placed to reach 1-0 in the five-test series against England.
Scorecardings Time Bumrah has begun playing crickets, Indian attacks have got different dimensions.
His awkward action, the ability to move the ball and straightened it after pitching had left the best batsmen in a confused world.
On Saturday also, he was the most deadly, especially with the second new ball when India stopped England for 303 in their second round.
It left India with the target of 209 and with stumps, India had reached 52-1.
208 is the highest score by the visit team (West Indies in 1980) to win a test at Trent Bridge, and if the weather survives, it can be an interesting last day.
There was time on Saturday when things threatened to get out of the hands of India.
The England captain Joe Root (109), who finished the 21st century, was at the top of his strength and India was only crashing into a desperate station.
But BMRAH, with a second new ball, had one to straighten out after the pitching that got Nick of Root to send the British captain’s house.
The rest took a walk in the park for BMRAH when he was polished from the tail with his steps and swing to solve it with 5-64.
While the control of the bemrah against the craft was the peak for India, it was a root genius that gave hope to England towards Indian speed attacks without stopping.
