Bumrah needs 4 wickets
Bumrah has dominated this series by taking 31 wickets, hence the Australian captain’s name is at second place in this series after the Indian fast bowler. Cummins has taken 22 wickets so far in this series. If Bumrah takes 4 wickets in the next 2 innings then he can make a 68 year old record in his name. If Jasprit Bumrah breaks this record, then the Indian team can look towards winning the Sydney Test and leveling the series.
