NEW DELHI: Jasprit Bumrah has etched his name in history by surpassing Shoaib Akhtar's record of 12 five-wicket hauls in Test cricket. With his 13th five-wicket haul in the Boxing Day Test against Australi at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Bumrah has now taken his tally to 203 wickets from 44 Tests. Akhtar took 178 wickets in 46 matches in his career.
This milestone places Bumrah among some of the greatest bowlers in the game’s history, as he moves past other legends like Sri Lanka's Chaminda Vaas and Australia’s Mitchell Johnson, both of whom also claimed five-wicket hauls 12 times in their careers.
