Jasprit Bumrah makes history during ENG vs IND third Test at Lord's

In the Lord's Test match between India and England, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has taken a five-wicket haul. His fifth wicket was Jofra Archer. Now, Bumrah's name will be added to the Lord's Honour Board. With this, Bumrah has also become the Indian bowler with the most five-wicket hauls in away Tests. The star pacer has broken two big records of Indian cricket legend Kapil Dev — he is now the second-highest wicket-taker for India in Test matches played in England and holds the record for the most five-wicket hauls by an Indian in away Tests.

The 31-year-old Indian pacer destroyed the English batting line-up in the third Test at Lord's to claim his 15th five-wicket haul in Tests. He has now equalled Ravindra Jadeja with the joint sixth-most five-wicket hauls for India in Test cricket. This was also Bumrah's 12th five-wicket haul in away matches.

Most Test Wickets for India in England

1. Ishant Sharma – 51
2. Jasprit Bumrah – 46
3. Kapil Dev – 43
4. Mohammed Shami – 42
5. Anil Kumble – 36

Bumrah’s exceptional bowling helped him surpass the legendary Kapil Dev on this exclusive list. Before this match, Kapil Dev was the second most successful Indian bowler in England, having taken 43 wickets. His four-wicket haul in this innings elevated him to 46 wickets, placing him second only behind Ishant Sharma. Currently, Ishant Sharma is on top with 51 wickets. But with two matches still left in the series, Bumrah has a strong chance to go past Ishant and become India's leading wicket-taker in England. Kapil Dev holds the third spot, followed by Shami and Kumble, the only spinner in the top five.

Bumrah Shines Even After England's Fightback

Jasprit Bumrah started well, but England did not lose all hope. Brydon Carse and Jamie Smith made a strong partnership. Both played attacking shots and scored half-centuries. Because of them, England reached a total of 387 runs. Bumrah took 5 wickets and gave 74 runs.

Bumrah has now shown that he is the best Indian fast bowler of this time. He has bowled well in many countries. He now has 13 five-wicket hauls in away Test matches, which is the most by any Indian bowler.

Bumrah has taken:

• 4 five-wicket hauls in England
• 4 in Australia
• 3 in South Africa
• 2 in the West Indies
• 2 in India

This record puts him ahead of great Indian bowlers like Kapil Dev (12), Anil Kumble (10), and Ishant Sharma (9). His good bowling in difficult conditions shows why he is one of the best fast bowlers in India’s cricket history.
