Bumrah Lauded After Record SENA Wickets in Test

Jasprit Bumrah delivered a standout performance on Day 2 of the first Test at Headingley, taking all three English wickets to fall and finishing with figures of 3/48. His achievement as the leading Asian wicket-taker in SENA countries drew comparisons to legendary bowlers like Malcolm Marshall and Sir Richard Hadlee from analysts and former players. England opener Ben Duckett and pacer Mark Wood praised Bumrah as the best fast bowler in the world, noting his unique skill set and difficulty to face. Despite Bumrah's excellence, the rest of India's bowlers struggled as Ollie Pope anchored England's response with an unbeaten century, leaving the hosts at 209/3 by stumps. Observers highlighted Bumrah's lack of support and fielding errors, including dropped catches and a costly no-ball. The match remains closely balanced, with India's hopes resting on Bumrah's continued impact.
