New Delhi:
Jasprit Bumrah creates history: Which did not happen earlier in Australia, when “Team Bumrah” did it. And on the fourth day of the first Test (Aus vs Ind 1st Test) of the five-Test series that ended on Monday in Perth, living up to the expectations of millions of fans, they defeated the hosts by a huge margin of 295 runs and took a 1-0 lead. . This was India's biggest win (in terms of runs) so far on Australian soil. And the hero of this victory was captain Jasprit Bumrah, who transformed the Perth Test into one of the biggest gifts of his career by getting the Player of the Match award by blasting the Kangaroo batsmen with his stormy bowling. Bumrah took a total of eight wickets in the match, including the “claw” in the first innings. With this, Jassi accomplished a feat which only Sir Richard Hadlee could do better than him since the Second World War (1939-1945).
Bumrah left Ashwin behind
With eight wickets taken in the first Test, Bumrah overtook OFI Ravichandran Ashwin in terms of taking the most wickets on Australian soil. In this case, Kapil Dev (51) and Anil Kumble (49) are at second place. With the 8 wickets taken in the Perth Test, Bumrah has now taken his number of wickets to 40 in the 8 Test matches played on Australian soil, Ashwin has come fourth, having 39 wickets in Australia. But the work that Bumrah has done in Australia, not only any Indian, not even any Asian bowler could do it in Australia.
Only Sir Richard Hadlee is better than Jassi!
Among the hundred bowlers who have taken at least 30 wickets in Australia since the Second World War, Bumrah is second in terms of the best average. Sir Richard Hadlee's average in Australia has been 17.83. Meaning, Hadlee took every wicket after this interval of runs, while Bumrah took every wicket on Australian soil after 18.40 runs. This achievement in itself is enough to tell how great a bowler Jassi is.
