Bumrah Reaches Historic 200 Test Wickets Milestone

Jasprit Bumrah achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first bowler in Test cricket history to claim 200 wickets with an average under 20. Bumrah reached this landmark during the Boxing Day Test against Australia in Melbourne, where he delivered a remarkable performance, taking four wickets for 56 runs. His bowling prowess has been compared to legends like Curtly Ambrose and Malcolm Marshall, and he is the leading wicket-taker in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with 29 wickets at an average of 13.24. Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar praised Bumrah as a 'genie' for Indian cricket, highlighting his unmatched ability to deliver under pressure across formats. Despite Bumrah's efforts, Australia ended the day at 228/9, with a significant lead of 333 runs, thanks to contributions from Marnus Labuschagne, Pat Cummins, and Nathan Lyon. Bumrah's relentless bowling has been a challenge for the Australian batsmen, earning him widespread acclaim from cricketing experts and fans alike.
