Jasprit Bumrah continued to shine on Day 3 of the first Test against England at Headingley. He added two more wickets to the three he had taken on Day 2, picking another impressive five-wicket haul in Test cricket. After his fifer, Bumrah became the first Asian bowler to take 150 Test wickets in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia).
Jasprit Bumrah has picked 37 wickets in nine Test matches in England so far. Bumrah needs 10 more wickets to overtake Ishant Sharma (51 wickets in 15 Tests) and become the highest wicket-taker for India in England in Test cricket. Bumrah’s best Test bowling figures are 6/27 against West Indies in 2019. However, he has the golden opportunity to surpass Ishant Sharma’s 7/74, which stands as the best bowling figures by an Indian in England in Test cricket.
