Bumrah has a chance to break Kapil Dev’s record
In the history of Indian cricket, former captain and best fast bowler all-rounder Kapil Dev has countless records in his name, in which he is the fastest Indian player to complete 200 wickets as a fast bowler in Test cricket. Kapil Dev had achieved this figure in his 50th test match. Now Bumrah has a great opportunity to break this record, in which Bumrah has so far taken a total of 194 wickets in 43 Test matches with an excellent average of 19.53, so if he can take 6 wickets in the Test match to be played in Melbourne. If we get more wickets, we will create a new record by breaking Kapil Dev’s record.

The Indian team had defeated the Australian team last time in Melbourne.
If we talk about the Boxing Day Test match between India and Australia to be played on the grounds of Melbourne, the last time Team India played a match against the host team in this stadium, it had won it unilaterally. In such a situation, even though the Australian team, which managed to level the series 1-1 after losing the first match, will not make the mistake of taking Team India lightly in the Melbourne Test match.
