NEW DELHI: Team India pacer and stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah has once again etched his name in the history books, achieving his 11th five-wicket haul in Test cricket on Saturday during the first Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

With this, Bumrah has become the joint-highest Indian bowler with the most five-wicket hauls in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) nations.
His seven five-wicket haul has placed him right at the top of the table alongside legendary Kapil Dev, who also amassed the same number of fifers in 62 innings, 11 fewer than that of Bumrah.
His remarkable performance also sees him enter the top-10 list for the most fifers by an Indian bowler, further cementing his status as one of the finest pacers in cricket history.
What sets Bumrah apart is his extraordinary average of around 22 against SENA opponents in Asia—surpassing legends like Wasim Akram, Imran Khan, and Waqar Younis.
On Day 2 of the Test, Bumrah struck on the first ball of his spell, removing Alex Carey with a brilliant short-of-length delivery that bounced and seamed away, forcing a loose shot.
