Jasprit Bumrah's Worst-Ever Feat In Test Cricket, For The First Time In His Career…
World No. 1 Test bowler Jasprit Bumrah on Saturday hit a new low as he toils with fellow Indian pacers in the 4 th Test against England at Old Trafford, Manchester. The visiting bowlers have bit the dust in this game so far as England smashed over 600 runs in the first innings, in response to India's 358. The likes of Siraj, Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar have leaked over 100 runs, sharing 7 wickets among each other.
However, for Bumrah, conceding over 100 runs in an innings of a Test match has never been the case. But the unexpected happened on the fourth day of the penultimate Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. For the first time since making his debut in 2018, the ace pacer leaked over 100 runs in an innings of a Test match.
Bumrah returned 112/2 in 33 overs, marking his worst bowling figures in 48 Tests. Yet, he was the most economical Indian bowler in the first innings of the Manchester Test. The last time he conceded close to 100 runs was in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, leaking 99 runs in the first innings of the Boxing Day Test with 4 wickets.
