The ACA Stadium in Guwahati erupted into a deafening roar this evening as Jasprit Bumrah did what he does best, delivering absolute chaos. In the ongoing 3rd T20I, a moment that defined the sheer dominance of this Indian attack, the speedster completely dismantled Tim Seifert, sending the stumps cartwheeled and leaving the Kiwi opener shell-shocked.

It was the first ball of the 6th over. New Zealand, already reeling from the early loss of Devon Conway to the impressive Harshit Rana, desperately needed stability to survive the Powerplay. Seifert, batting on 12 off 11 deliveries, looked ready to accelerate. But Bumrah had other plans. Steaming in with his trademark stutter-step run-up, he unleashed a precision missile, a wicked delivery that skidded off the surface and nipped back just enough to beat Seifert’s defences.

The ball crashed into the timber before Seifert could even bring his bat down, ending his stay and putting India firmly in the driver's seat. The dismissal was a masterclass in aggressive fast bowling, perfectly following up Harshit Rana's earlier breakthrough, where Hardik Pandya took a blinder to remove Conway.
With New Zealand now losing key wickets inside the Powerplay, the Men in Blue are marching ominously towards a series-clinching 3-0 lead. The energy in Guwahati is electric, and with Jasprit Bumrah firing on all cylinders, the visitors are staring down the barrel of a long, difficult night.
