Raj Bawa’s fiery bouncer yields a wicket
As soon as George Bell came to the crease, the right-arm pacer surprised him with an unplayable bouncer. The ball struck his gloves and then, it was an easy catch for wicket-keeper Dinesh Bana.
Twitter reacts to the amazing delivery
Twitter was left impressed with the thought process and then the execution by the youngster. A few of them were also reminded of S Sreesanth’s delivery to get Jacques Kallis in a similar manner around a decade ago. Here are more Twitter reactions in this regard:
What a ball from Raj Bawa, remind me of Sreesanth against Kallis in a Test match.

That's as well directed a bouncer as you could hope to bowl in your dream to a batter who has just come out to bat. Not the quickest, but brilliantly executed. Raj Bawa 🔥 pic.twitter.com/33ui89VAKT

Superb well directed bouncer from Raj Bawa as George Bell out for a duck. What a performance from Indian U19 bowlers so far. England reeling at 47/5. #U19CWC2022
