Jasprit Bumrah Surpasses Kapil Dev as Most Successful Indian Pacer in Australia
Jasprit Bumrah has etched his name in Indian cricket history by surpassing the legendary Kapil Dev as the most successful Indian pacer in Australia. This milestone was achieved during the third Test against Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane. Bumrah's remarkable performance saw him take six wickets in the first innings, conceding 76 runs, and three wickets in the second innings, finishing with figures of 9/94.
Bumrah's achievement is all the more impressive given his consistent performance on Australian soil. He now holds 53 wickets in 20 Test innings in Australia, surpassing Kapil Dev's tally of 51 wickets. This places Bumrah at the top of the list of most successful Indian bowlers in Australia, followed closely by Anil Kumble with 49 wickets and Ravichandran Ashwin with 40 wickets[1][2].
Bumrah's success was highlighted by his dismissal of Marnus Labuschagne on the first ball of the seventh over. The delivery was pitched on a good length outside the off-stump, prompting Labuschagne to edge it directly to the wicketkeeper. This moment marked a significant turning point in the match, as Bumrah continued to dominate the Australian batting lineup[1][2].
The Gabba Test was marred by rain, which interrupted play on Day 5 and ultimately led to a draw. Despite the weather conditions, India managed to avoid follow-on and secure a crucial draw. The series remains closely poised as it heads into the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne[1].
