IND vs ENG: Boom Boom Bumrah! Five-star Jasprit Bumrah joins Kapil Dev at the top

Jasprit Bumrah (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: Jasprit Bumrah continues to redefine greatness in fast bowling. On Day 3 of the first Test against England at Headingley, the Indian pace spearhead became the first Asian bowler to take 150 wickets across SENA countries — South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia. Bumrah reached this milestone with a phenomenal five-wicket haul, finishing with figures of 5/83 in 24.4 overs at an economy rate of 3.36. It was another near-lone-warrior effort from India's ace as he dismantled England's middle and lower order with unrelenting precision. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! This marked Bumrah's 10th five-wicket haul in SENA nations, making him the first Indian bowler to achieve this feat. He now sits just two behind Pakistan legend Wasim Akram , who claimed 11 fifers in these regions. Additionally, this was Bumrah's 12th five-wicket haul in away Tests, bringing him level with the great Kapil Dev . What makes this achievement even more remarkable is Bumrah's efficiency — he reached the mark in just 34 Tests, compared to Kapil's 66. His SENA record includes four five-wicket hauls in Australia, three in England, three in South Africa, and two in the West Indies.
