Jasprit Bumrah Bags Lords Five-Vick Hall at Lord’s

Jasprit Bumrah performed his 15th Test in this Ind vs. Eng Test series with his second miles and in the first Lords.

No matter how batting-friendly the pitch is, one can’t keep Jasprit Bumrah silent. India’s premier pacer has bagged his 15th Test fifer with four wickets on Day 2 of the IND vs ENG Lord’s Test. As Bumrah got his name on the Lord’s honours board for the first time, he equalled his India teammate Ravindra Jadeja for the most fifers for India in Tests. He claimed Joe Root for the 15th time across formats while dismissing Ben Stokes for the fifth time. Chris Woakes fell for a golden duck. Bumrah completed his fifer with the wicket of former Mumbai Indians teammate Jofra Archer in the second session.

Even though Bumrah equalled Jadeja, both have contrasting records. This was Bumrah’s 13th five-wicket haul in Tests outside India, with just two fifers coming at his home. Jadeja has the opposite. The spin-all-rounder has claimed 13 five-wicket hauls in India, and only two of them have come in away Tests.

Most Test wickets by Indians in England

The fifer also helped Bumrah surge past Kapil Dev to bag the most Test wickets in England. He is only behind Ishant Sharma, who bagged 48 wickets in 14 matches. Bumrah has 47 wickets, and he is all set to surpass Ishant Sharma in the IND vs ENG Lord’s Test. In England, Bumrah has four five-wicket hauls, averaging 25.43.
