Bumrah’s Heroics at Gabba
Meanwhile, Bumrah continues to shine on the international stage. In the third Test against Australia at Gabba, he was India’s standout performer, claiming six wickets and almost single-handedly keeping India in the match. On a pitch that offered little help to bowlers, Bumrah’s skill stood out as he delivered a five-wicket haul, marking his eighth in SENA countries, a record for an Indian bowler. This achievement surpassed the previous record held by Kapil Dev, who had seven five-wicket hauls in these nations.
