IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah holds animated chat with Gautam Gambhir; picture goes viral

Jasprit Bumrah of India. (Photo by) NEW DELHI: An intense on-field performance was followed by an off-the-field moment as a photo of Jasprit Bumrah in an animated conversation with India head coach Gautam Gambhir inside the dressing room went viral on Saturday. The image, captured during the final hour of play on Day 2 of the first Test against England at Headingley, sparked buzz among fans, with many speculating about the exchange between the pace ace and the newly appointed coach. Bumrah had every reason to be fired up. The Indian fast bowler was in devastating rhythm, claiming all three English wickets as England reached 209/3 in response to India's 471.

Jasprit Bumrah Creates History, Dismantles Wasim Akram's Record In Headingley

Jasprit Bumrah etched his name into cricketing history once again as he delivered a fiery performance during the first Test between India and England at Headingley, shattering a record long held by Pakistan legend Wasim Akram. On a seaming Day 2 wicket at Leeds, Bumrah dismissed England's Ben Duckett in style, thereby becoming the highest wicket-taking Asian bowler in SENA countries: South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia, with a tally of 147 Test wickets, surpassing Akram's 146. Most Test wickets by Asian bowlers in SENA: 1 - Jasprit Bumrah: 147 wickets in 60 innings 2 - Wasim Akram: 146 wickets in 55 innings 3 - Anil Kumble: 141 wickets in 67 innings 4 - Ishant Sharma: 130 wickets in 71 innings 5 - Mohammed Shami: 123 wickets in 63 innings Historic Milestone in Toughest Conditions SENA countries are known for their testing conditions, especially for subcontinental bowlers. Over the decades, only a handful of Asian pacers have managed to leave a consistent mark on these shores. Bumrah, however, has not only matched the greats, he's left them behind. His record-breaking wicket came with classic Bumrah craft: tight lines, late movement, and clinical execution. Duckett was lured into a drive, only to be undone by a sharp seam movement that rattled the top of the off. A New Benchmark for Asian Pacers Wasim Akram's 146 SENA wickets stood tall for over two decades. For Bumrah to surpass that at age 31, with many years of cricket still ahead, is a signal of how the modern fast bowler from India is redefining expectations. Bumrah's control, ability to generate reverse swing, and deceptive pace have made him a weapon in any condition. What's striking, though, is his consistency abroad. He averages under 25 in these tough regions, a mark of true greatness. India posted a formidable 471 in their first innings, powered by three centuries. Shubman Gill scored 147, becoming only the fourth Indian captain to register a hundred in his maiden Test innings as skipper. Rishabh Pant struck 134, marking his seventh Test century, now the most by an Indian wicketkeeper, surpassing MS Dhoni's tally of six. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 101 on Day 1, became the first player in history to notch centuries in Australia, the West Indies, and England in his debut Tests in each of those countries.

Pant vs Dhoni erupts again after Leeds show: He's 'India's greatest Test wicketkeeper-batter'. Look at MSD's hundreds...

A stunning century on a dry Headingley track, that propelled India to 471 in the first innings, once again erupted the long-standing debate on "India's greatest-ever Test wicketkeeper-batter." Rishabh Pant, as claimed by former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar, placed himself well ahead in the battle, after his seventh career ton, and third on English soil, on the second day of the opening game in Leeds. Rishabh Pant scored his seventh career Test century on Saturday Manjrekar, speaking to JioHotstar, was full of praise for the box-office knock on Saturday from the India vice-captain, which ably supported skipper Shubman Gill's ton in India putting on a big total in the opening innings of the series. "By far, India's greatest ever Test batter-keeper. I was worried when he was in the 90s that he might end up getting his 8th 90 of his career. It is just unbelievable that he has so many 90s! But he's a breath of fresh air. When he got out and raised his bat, there were a lot of English supporters who stood up and applauded that innings. That's what we love about England — these guys come to watch good cricket. They obviously want their team to win, but when they see excellence from the opposition, you can see true appreciation for it," Manjrekar said.

Later, he consolidated his opinion by dissecting the centuries that Pant and MS Dhoni scored in their Test careers. Manjrekar reckoned that while five of Pant's seven centuries came in SENA nations, for the former India captain, he never scored a ton outside Asia, with his highest being a knock of 92 at The Oval in 2007. "Again, I am a believer in where you got your hundreds, and I'm a big sort of, I always look at hundreds. OK, where have we got it? Pant's got hundreds in England. He's got 100 in South Africa. He's got a couple of hundreds in Australia. So when you look at the MS' hundreds, with all due respect to his fans, his centuries would not be so much in these countries where batting is a bit more challenging, as batting on an Indian pitch. In Test cricket, he's already well ahead of MS," he said. Pant's knock on Day 2 made him the most prolific wicketkeeper-batter for India. He now holds the record for most Test hundreds as a wicketkeeper for India, surpassing Dhoni's tally of six.
