4th Test: Bumrah Becomes Sixth Indian Pacer To Take 200 Test Wickets
Boxing Day Test: Fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has become the sixth Indian fast-bowler to pick 200 wickets in men’s Tests. Playing in his 44th Test match, Bumrah achieved the landmark when he had Travis Head flicking to mid-wicket and dismiss him for one, and raised both arms in the air in sheer joy.
No one in the history of Test cricket has reached the milestone with a better average than Bumrah, whose average stands at 19.56, going past former West Indies pacer Joel Garner, who got to the landmark with an average of 20.34.
Bumrah, who made his Test debut in 2018, is also the second-fastest bowler from India to reach the milestone, where he now stands equal with Ravindra Jadeja. The recently retired Ravichandran Ashwin is the fastest Indian bowler to pick 200 Test wickets, which he achieved in 37 innings.
