Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah also became the first Asian bowler to pick up 150 Test wickets in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand & Australia), during his fantastic bowling spell.
Jasprit Bumrah has now claimed three five-wicket hauls in Test cricket in England, the most by an India bowler.
Jasprit Bumrah has also surpassed Australia skipper Pat Cummins to become the pace bowler with the highest number (11) of five-wicket hauls in World Test Championship (WTC) history. Bumrah now shares the record for the most number of five-wicket hauls in WTC history with Ravichandran Ashwin.
Bumrah needs 10 more wickets to overtake Ishant Sharma (51 wickets in 15 Tests) and become the highest wicket-taker for India in England in Test cricket. Bumrah’s best Test bowling figures are 6/27 against West Indies in 2019. However, he has the golden opportunity to surpass Ishant Sharma's 7/74, which stands as the best bowling figures by an Indian in England in Test cricket.
Despite his brilliant performance in the first Test, Jasprit Bumrah is unlikely to play all five Test matches in England due to workload management following his back injury, which he sustained in Australia earlier this year. After suffering a stress-related lower back injury during the final Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Sydney, Bumrah missed the all-important ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in UAE. He also missed the initial matches of IPL 2025 for Mumbai Indians (MI). So, Bumrah's workload management will be very crucial during the ongoing England tour.
