Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah delivered a stellar performance in the ongoing IND vs ENG Leeds Test against England, claiming a five-wicket haul and etching his name in the record books. This was Bumrah’s 14th five-wicket haul in Test cricket, achieved with figures of 5/83 in 24.4 overs.

Bumrah became the first Asian bowler to reach 150 Test wickets in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia). His remarkable consistency in overseas conditions has set him apart from his contemporaries.

Matching Kapil Dev’s Overseas Record

Bumrah now has 12 five-wicket hauls away from home, equaling the great Kapil Dev’s record. Notably, he achieved this in just 34 matches, compared to Kapil’s 66. Other notable Indian bowlers on this list include Ishant Sharma (9), Zaheer Khan (8), and Irfan Pathan (7).

Bumrah's Test Career So Far:

In 46 Tests, Bumrah has claimed 210 wickets at an average of 19.33 and a strike rate of 41.8. His economy rate stands at 2.77. With 14 five-wicket hauls to his name, Bumrah continues to cement his legacy as one of India’s greatest fast bowlers.

India dismissed England for 465 on Day 3 of the opening Test at Headingley, securing a narrow 6-run first-innings lead. Jasprit Bumrah led the attack with a superb five-wicket haul, while Prasidh Krishna claimed three scalps.

Although Ollie Pope fell early in the session, Harry Brook anchored England’s innings with a gritty 99 before falling just short of a century. With the match finely balanced, the spotlight now returns to India’s batting trio—Yashasvi Jaiswal, skipper Shubman Gill, and vice-captain Rishabh Pant—who had earlier struck impressive centuries to power India’s first-innings total.
