Jasprit Bumrah added another illustrious chapter to his growing legacy on Sunday as he equalled the legendary Kapil Dev's record for the most five-wicket hauls by an Indian in away Test matches. Bumrah바카라s spell of 5/83 at Headingley against England not only pegged back the hosts but also highlighted his unmatched prowess with the red ball in foreign conditions.

The Indian pace spearhead was instrumental in restricting England to 465 in their first innings, earning India a slender six-run lead in a high-scoring encounter. This was Bumrah's 14th five-wicket haul in Test cricket and his 12th in overseas conditions, putting him level with World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev, who achieved the same number in 66 Tests away from home 바카라 nearly double the 34 matches it has taken Bumrah.

Bumrah struck early on Day 2, removing the top three English batters and setting the tone for India's attack. While Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj played supporting roles on Day 3, sharing five wickets between them, it was Bumrah who returned late in the innings to clean up the tail. He dismissed Chris Woakes (38) and Josh Tongue (11) to complete his milestone performance.

Praise For Bumrah

Former England pacer Stuart Broad praised Bumrah바카라s craft and impact. 바카라Bumrah has moved the ball more than anyone else, brought drama, bowled jaffas, and deserves the fine applause he received from this crowd,바카라 Broad noted, while also questioning whether India could have deployed him earlier in the day.

India바카라s efforts with the new ball were tested by a resilient English lower order. After Harry Brook narrowly missed a century, falling for 99 to Prasidh Krishna, Chris Woakes and debutant Brydon Carse added 55 brisk runs in just 44 deliveries. Mohammed Siraj finally broke the partnership by bowling Carse for 22, before Bumrah wrapped up the innings.

Despite conceding 465, India emerged with a slender lead thanks to their first innings total and the bowling heroics of Bumrah. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul had earlier set the platform with a solid 91-run opening stand, exposing cracks in England바카라s bowling attack.

With over 900 runs scored in just three days and the game finely poised, former India coach Ravi Shastri summed up the contest aptly: 바카라Game on 바카라 and at some pace. It is set up beautifully. England will be happy where they are. They like a chase, and if they can make inroads in the next session, you never know.바카라
