Jasprit Bumrah's brilliance at Lord's! Breaks Kapil Dev's record, joins Honours Board

NEW DELHI: Jasprit Bumrah etched his name into the record books on Friday with a sensational five-wicket haul during the third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Lord’s — his 15th in Test cricket overall. With this feat, Bumrah’s name will now feature on the iconic Honours Boards at the historic venue.What made this achievement even more remarkable was that it marked his 13th five-wicket haul in overseas Tests, a milestone he reached in just 35 matches. This breaks Kapil Dev’s long-standing Indian record of 12 fifers outside India, which came in 66 games. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel.

But he returned with a vengeance in the final session of the day, breaking through Harry Brook’s defence with a beautiful delivery.On the second morning, Bumrah took charge with the second new ball and ran through England’s middle order. He first removed captain Ben Stokes with a peach of a delivery, dismissed centurion Joe Root shortly after, and then sent Chris Woakes back for a golden duck, thanks to a successful DRS appeal for a faint edge. Later in the second session, Bumrah cleaned up Jofra Archer for four to complete his five-wicket haul, further solidifying his reputation as one of the world’s premier fast bowlers.Most five-wicket hauls for India in away Tests:Jasprit Bumrah – 13 five-wicket hauls in 35 matchesKapil Dev – 12 five-wicket hauls in 66 matchesAnil Kumble – 10 five-wicket hauls in 69 matchesIshant Sharma – 9 five-wicket hauls in 62 matchesR.
