In his second spell, the speedster got the wicket of Dewald Brewis, who was caught by skipper Suryakumar Yadav.
As the batter walked to the pavilion, replays showed that Bumrah had slightly overstepped. But the third umpire deemed it a legal delivery.
With this, Bumrah became the first Indian bowler to claim 100 wickets across formats. However, the way the milestone wicket came led to a lot of debate.
