Jasprit Bumrah Becomes India's Top Test Wicket-Taker in Australia

News summary

Jasprit Bumrah has emerged as a standout performer for India in the ongoing Test series against Australia, surpassing Kapil Dev to become the leading Test wicket-taker for India in Australia with 53 wickets. In the latest third Test at Brisbane, Bumrah took nine wickets, contributing to his impressive tally of 21 wickets in the series at an astounding average of 10.90. His performance in the first Test included a match-winning 5-30, leading India to a 295-run victory, showcasing his unique 'slingshot' bowling action that has unsettled many top batsmen. Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting and Travis Head have lauded Bumrah's skills, with Head suggesting he may be among the greatest fast bowlers in the game's history. Despite facing significant back injuries earlier in his career, Bumrah's resurgence has been pivotal for India, particularly noted during the T20 World Cup triumph earlier this year. His unconventional style, developed during his childhood practice, continues to leave a lasting impact on the field.
