IND vs ENG 3rd Test: England swept away by Jasprit Bumrah’s tsunami, broke this record of Kapil Dev
b
Jasprit Bumrah did what has been a dream for Indian fast bowlers till now in the Lord’s Test. Bumrah, who was sitting out of the second Test due to workload management, wreaked havoc on the English batsmen as soon as he held the ball on the second morning of the third Test. He not only took 5 wickets, but also broke a big record of Kapil Dev.
Which record of Kapil Dev did he break?
Jasprit Bumrah took 5 wickets in the first innings of the Lord’s Test and completed the 15th five-wicket haul of his career. The special thing was that this was his 13th 5-wicket haul on foreign soil, due to which he has left Kapil Dev behind. Kapil Dev had the record of taking 5-wicket hauls 12 times, but now Bumrah has become the Indian bowler to take five wickets in an innings the most number of times on foreign soil.
Most 5 wickets on foreign soil for India
- Jasprit Bumrah- 13*

Name on the Honors Board, still why did he not celebrate
It is every cricketer’s dream to get his name registered on the “Honors Board” of Lord’s, but Bumrah looked calm even after achieving this milestone. He completed five wickets by dismissing Jofra Archer in his spell during England’s innings on Friday. This was Bumrah’s fourth wicket of the morning and India bowled out England for 387 runs on the basis of his lethal bowling.
England started the second day at 251 runs for 4 wickets. Apart from the half-centuries of Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse, the entire England team was seen struggling against the Indian bowlers.
How was India’s start
In response, India’s start was also not good. Yashasvi Jaiswal became the victim of Jofra Archer after scoring 13 runs. After this, Karun Nair started well, but got caught by captain Ben Stokes at 40 runs. Shubman Gill could not play a big innings this time and was dismissed by Chris Woakes after scoring 28 runs.
At the end of the day’s play, KL Rahul is unbeaten on 53 runs and Rishabh Pant is standing with him after scoring 19 runs. India is still 242 runs behind England and the challenge of making a big score in the first innings is in front of them.
