Jasprit Bumrah breaks this 40-year record; Surpasses Kapil Dev

Kapil Dev’s 40-Year-Old Record: Jasprit Bumrah, an exceptional pacer who has played against SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia) nations on their turf, has taken 100 Test wickets, making him the sixth Indian bowler to do so. The great bowler reached the milestone at Edgbaston during the fifth and final Test against England. Bumrah reached the milestone after clean bowling well-positioned opener Zak Crawley for 46 in the 22nd over of the fourth session on Day 4.

Currently, Bumrah has 101 wickets in SENA nations. He joins Anil Kumble (141), Ishant Sharma (130), Zaheer Khan (119), Mohammed Shami (119), and Kapil Dev (119) as Indian bowlers to break the benchmark. He also has 100 SENA wickets, becoming the fifth Indian pacer to do so.

The majority of his wickets have come from England among the four nations. He has taken 37 wickets in nine games played in England, with an average of 25.18 and an economy rate of 2.67. His 5/64 bowling average is his best in English conditions.

Bumrah also outperformed Kapil in another respect. Bumrah earned his 23rd wicket of the series after he removed Ollie Pope from the game. He now holds the record for the most wickets taken by an Indian bowler in a series versus England. Kapil Dev had previously held the record. In a test series at home against England in 1981–1982, the former captain of India claimed 22 wickets.

The top Indian bowler continues to choose Australia as a target since, in seven games there, he has taken 32 wickets at an average of 21.25 and a 2.47 economy rate. He made the most of the Australian conditions by turning in his best bowling statistics of 6/33.

He has participated in six matches in South Africa, taking 26 wickets. These have been offered for a median price of 24.38 and a 2.92 economy rate. His 7/111 bowling average is his best here.

Jasprit Bumrah has had the most restricted success and played the fewest number of Tests in New Zealand. He has six wickets in two Tests, averaging 31.66 and a 3.08 economy rate. His 3/62 bowling average is among the best in the nation.
