WATCH: Jasprit Bumrah dismisses Nissanka on the first ball of Sri Lankan innings, crowd gets behind

Jasprit Bumrah achieved a milestone by claiming his 15th wicket in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 when he dismissed Pathum Nissanka on the very first delivery of Sri Lanka's innings, who were chasing a formidable target of 358. Nissanka was struck on the pad right in front of the stumps, prompting the umpire to raise his finger. Despite the batter's decision to opt for the Decision Review System (DRS), the call stood, and he had to depart without scoring, a golden duck that put the batting team in an early predicament.
