Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has created a world record during the Boxing Day Test between Australia and India in Melbourne. Bumrah has become the first-ever bowler in Test history to achieve 200 wickets at an average of less than 20.
It is a unique accomplishment for India’s bowling spearhead who has been on song in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The 31-year-old has carried India’s inexperienced bowling attack on his shoulders and has emerged as the best bowler from either side.
