Jasprit Bumrah Gifts Special Leeds Fifer Ball To Son Angad, Wins Hearts

Last Updated: Jasprit Bumrah gifted his son the special ball with which he recorded his 14th fifer in Test cricket during the first innings in Headingley. Jasprit Bumrah marked his spectacular fifer in the first innings of the Headingley Test against England by gifting his son Angad the ball with which he delivered his spell of 5 for 83. TV presenter Sanjana Ganesan, the Indian speedster's wife, revealed via an Instagram story post that Bumrah gave the ball to his little one on Sunday, June 22. The picture of the junior Bumrah holding the red ball inked with the father's first-innings figures versus the hosts touched the hearts of cricket fans. Angad Jasprit Bumrah with Father's fifer balls 😍. — Nadeem (@cricupdatesonX) June 23, 2025 After months of layoff from Test cricket due to a back stress injury, Bumrah was back to the grind in England. He kept India in the game despite an inexperienced support cast allowing England regular opportunities to score. When Mohammed Siraj (2/122) and Prasidh Krishna (3/128) were smashed off their lengths and lines by the Bazball brigade, Bumrah kept them under the wood and provided critical blows to ensure India took a slender six-run lead after posting 471 all out in the first essay. With only T20 cricket for Mumbai Indians under his belt in recent months, Bumrah took time readjusting to Test match workload and spells, erring on his line a little bit. But the great bowler soon got into his true elements and added the wickets of Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Chris Woakes, and Josh Tongue to his bag of scalps after having dismissed opener Zak Crawley earlier in England's innings. It was Bumrah's 14th five-wicket haul in Test cricket in just 46 appearances for India. He now has a tally of 210 scalps in the traditional format at an astonishing average of 19.33. Arguably the greatest cricketer of the era, Bumrah equalled the record of the legendary Indian allrounder Kapil Dev with this being the 12th instance of him taking a fifer away from home. Notably, the 31-year-old reached the mark in only 34 foreign Tests, as opposed to Kapil's 66. Bumrah also became the first Indian to record 10 five-wicket hauls in the SENA countries. Two more will take him past Sultan of Swing Wasim Akram among Asian bowlers on the list. Bumrah now has four five-wicket hauls in Australia and three apiece in England and South Africa. He also has a pair of fifers in the West Indies and India. First Published:
