India’s top fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has made a big record during the ongoing Test match against England in Leeds. On the second day of the match, Bumrah showed his excellent bowling skills and became the Asian bowler with the highest number of wickets in SENA countries. SENA stands for South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia – the countries known for difficult playing conditions for Asian bowlers.
Bumrah took three important wickets in England’s first innings. These wickets helped him go past Pakistan’s former great Wasim Akram, who had 146 wickets in SENA countries. Bumrah now has 147 wickets, making him number one on this list among Asian bowlers.
Match Highlights
India batted first and scored 471 runs in their first innings. In reply, England finished the second day with 209 runs for 3 wickets. England is still 262 runs behind India. Ollie Pope is unbeaten on 100 runs, while Harry Brook is yet to open his account.
Bumrah took all three wickets for India in England’s innings. He dismissed Zak Crawley early, giving India a good start. However, the Indian fielders dropped some catches, and England recovered. Ravindra Jadeja dropped Ben Duckett on 15 runs, and Duckett went on to build a 122-run partnership with Ollie Pope. Still, Bumrah broke this stand by removing Duckett and later took the big wicket of Joe Root.
Bumrah’s New Record
With this performance, Bumrah became the top wicket-taker among Asian bowlers in SENA countries. Before this match, Wasim Akram held the record with 146 wickets. Bumrah now has 147 wickets and is still playing, which means his number can grow even more.
