As the world watches Lord’s Cricket Ground, everyone is watching Jasprit Bumrah, India’s star fast bowler, who is close to achieving some big numbers. Bumrah’s consistent performance and match-winning spells have made him one of the most respected bowlers.
With India looking to win the series, Bumrah’s return not only makes India stronger but also gives Jasprit Bumrah a chance to make some history. Here’s what Jasprit Bumrah can achieve in the 3rd Test of the England tour:
1. 8 wickets to 50 wickets in England
Bumrah needs 8 wickets to get to 50 wickets in England. If he does, he’ll be among the best Indian fast bowlers to have done well in England. That would seal his status as one of India’s top players.
2. 5 wickets to 150 as opening bowler in Tests
Another big one within reach is 150 wickets as an opening bowler in Tests. He needs 5 more wickets. That shows how consistent he is with the new ball. Bumrah has often set the tone early on and given India an advantage from the start.
3. 2 wickets to 450 across formats
In all international cricket, Bumrah is 2 wickets away from 450 across all formats. That number includes Tests, ODIs and T20Is. That would show how good he is in every format. Joining the 450-wicket club would mean how long he’s been playing, how well he’s adapted, and how important he is to India’s wins in every format.
