Bumrah’s Bowling Brilliance: Leads India’s Charge Against England, Makes History

Jasprit Bumrah was the standout performer for India on the second day of the first Test against England. His exceptional bowling played a key role as India set a solid total of 471. In the second innings, Bumrah’s skillful bowling proved decisive, providing much-needed breakthroughs. Notably, other Indian bowlers like Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Ravindra Jadeja remained wicketless. Bumrah’s performance included sending both Ben Duckett and Zack Crawley back to the pavilion, thus dismantling England’s opening partnership. Beyond his immediate impact, Bumrah has also made history, becoming the number one Asian bowler to have taken the most wickets in SENA countries. He achieved this feat by surpassing Pakistan’s Wasim Akram. Bumrah now boasts an impressive 147 wickets in 60 innings, despite the demanding conditions of overseas matches.
