In the Test match being played against Bangladesh in Kingston, a West Indies bowler bowled so badly that the record was broken. Something like this was seen which was the first such incident to happen in the last 46 years in the longest format of cricket. The effect of his havoc was such that the Bangladesh team remained far away from the 200-run mark in the first innings of the second test match. This gave the host West Indies a chance to take control of the match. The player due to which the West Indies team is in a strong position in the second test is Jayden Seales, who has created history against Bangladesh by breaking the record of the Indian bowler.

46 years… Jayden Seals broke the record of Indian bowler

Jayden Seales bowled 15.5 overs in the first innings against Bangladesh, bowled 10 maidens and took 4 wickets for 5 runs. During this period, his economy was 0.31, which is the best economy recorded in men's Test cricket after 1978. Earlier this record was in the name of Indian fast bowler Umesh Yadav, who bowled with an economy of 0.42 against South Africa in the Test played in 2015. Umesh bowled 16 maidens in 21 overs and took 3 wickets for 9 runs. But Umesh's record has now been broken by Jayden Seals.
