IND vs AUS: Jasprit Bumrah breaks huge record, Wasim Akram also left behind

As soon as he reached Australia, Jasprit Bumrah wreaked havoc with the ball. In the first Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy being played in Perth, Bumrah broke the back of Australia’s top order on the first day. While batting first, the Indian batsmen did wonders in bowling despite failing. When the Australian team came out to bat after India’s first innings was bundled out for 150 runs, no one could have imagined that the visiting team’s bowlers would make such a bad situation for the Kangaroo batsmen.

In reply to India’s 150 runs, Australia scored 67 runs on the scoreboard for the loss of 7 wickets at the end of the first day’s play. Bumrah hunted 4 batsmen on the first day. After this, as the second day’s play began, Bumrah showed Alex Carey the way to the pavilion and took 5 wickets for the 11th time in Tests. He tied Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma for taking the most 5 wickets in Tests.

Wasim Akram’s record broken

Not only this, Bumrah achieved the feat of taking 5 wickets in a Test innings for the 7th time in Sena (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia) countries. In this way, Bumrah equaled Kapil Dev’s record of taking the most 5 wickets in the Indian Army. While Bumran equaled Kapil Dev, he also broke Pakistan’s legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram’s record. Bumrah took his 37th wicket on Australian soil in the form of Alex Carey. In this way, Bumrah has become the highest wicket-taker in Australia since 1990. He surpassed Akram’s tally of 36 wickets.
