Jasprit Bumrah will create the biggest history in Sydney, 51 years old record will be broken
Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah: Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 started from 22 November. Under the captaincy of Jasprit Bumrah, Team India registered a resounding win in Perth and took a 1-0 lead in the 5-match Test series, but then everything changed with the second Test. Rohit joined Team India as captain and lost badly to Australia by 10 wickets in the day-night test played in Adelaide. After this, the Gabba Test was drawn but once again Team India had to face a crushing defeat by 184 runs in Melbourne. Now Team India will try to save the series in Sydney Test.
In the 4 Test matches played so far in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Team India has seen consistent performance from only one player. This is the name of star bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah has been wreaking havoc with the ball since the very first Test match and till now has taken a total of 30 wickets in 8 innings of 4 matches. He is the bowler taking the most wickets in this series. There is no one around him either. Even Australia’s most successful bowler Pat Cummins has been able to take only 20 wickets in this series. From this, the ability of Jasprit Bumrah can be estimated.
The biggest record will be broken
Now let’s talk about that record, which will be Bumrah’s target in the Sydney Test. Jasprit Bumrah was the highest wicket taker bowler in the year 2024. He achieved the feat of taking 86 wickets in all three formats. In the year 2024, he was the highest wicket-taker not only in all three formats but also in Test cricket. He took 71 wickets in 26 innings of 13 matches. Now he will have a great opportunity to create a new history in Test cricket with the beginning of the year 2025.
There will be a big miracle in the name of Bumrah
If Bumrah manages to take a total of 6 more wickets in both the innings in the Sydney Test, then he will become the Indian bowler with the highest wicket taker in a Test series. This means that the record that has been going on for 51 years and 10 months is on the verge of being destroyed. Currently, this record is in the name of BS Chandrashekhar, who did the feat of taking 35 wickets in the 5-match Test series against England in 1972-73. Considering the excellent form Bumrah is in, it is almost certain that this record will be broken.
