Whenever Jasprit Bumrah comes on the field, some record is made or broken. Even when Bumrah is away from the field, some record is made in his name, something similar has happened before the Melbourne Test. Jasprit Bumrah has created history. He has become the first fast bowler in the history of Indian cricket whose ICC rating points have crossed 900. Bumrah remains at number 1 in the latest ICC Test rankings released on Wednesday. But the special thing here is that his rating points have increased by 14 and with this his rating points have become 904. Bumrah has equaled Ashwin and it is possible that he may break Ashwin's record after the Melbourne Test.

Bumrah will create history in Melbourne test

If Jasprit Bumrah also performs well in the Melbourne Test, his test rating points will exceed 904. In this way, he will become the bowler who has achieved the highest rating points in Indian history. This task is not difficult for Bumrah because his form is unmatched at the moment. Bumrah has taken 21 wickets in 3 tests on Australia tour. His bowling average is only 10.90 and strike rate is 25.14.
