Jasprit Bumrah achieved the Test 100, a feat no one desires:

Delhi: Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah’s Test career will always get a special discussion against England, because for the first time here, 100 made a 100 that no bowler wants to see with his name. For Bumrah, it is no less achievement for Bumrah that for the first time, 100 or more runs in an innings in Test on his bowling for the first time, in his 48th Test.

Bumrah gave 100 runs in a test

Jasprit Bumrah recorded 2-112 figures in 33 overs in 33 overs in England’s 669-run innings at Old Trafford and thus it came to 100 in his name as well. This was the 91st such innings in Test cricket, in which the bowling was not given 100 runs in any of the last 90 innings. His previous worst performance in terms of giving runs was 4-99 against Australia in the fourth Test of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Melbourne. The coincidence is that before the start of the series, according to the schedule of Bumrah’s workload management, he did not have to play in this test.

4 bowlers scored 100+ runs in Old Trafford

Talking about this Old Trafford Test, England’s big innings was shocked by the Indian bowlers and the truth is that four bowlers gave 100+ runs. The condition was that Bumrah took his first wicket in the 125th over, on the third day, when Jamie Smith (9) was dismissed and England had taken a lead of 157 runs by then. On that, during this innings, they slipped on the stairs, causing an ankle injury and it also affected the speed of his ball.

Even then, here, for the second time in his Test career, threw more than 30 overs in an innings. Earlier in 2021, 36 overs were thrown against England in Chennai and the demonstration was 3-84. Since this happened for the first time in Bumrah’s Test career, the record of giving 100 runs is being discussed more, otherwise even the big bowlers did not survive this record.

Record of Bumrah and other bowlers:

• Among the famous bowlers of today, Bumrah was unique, who was survived by the record of giving 100+ runs, otherwise Cummins has given 4 times, 5 times Hazelwood, 10 times Rabada and 14 times Stark has given 100+ runs.
• More than 50 wickets in England: Now he has 51 wickets in 12 Tests in England and Wasim Akram (53) and Ishant Sharma (51) took 50 Test wickets in England before Bumrah (in Asian bowlers).
• Indian bowlers who took 50 or more wickets abroad: How much record this is can be gauged from the fact that this record is in the name of only three bowlers of India and Bumrah is the only one, which made this record in two countries. He has 64 wickets in Australia before the 51 -wicket record in England. Apart from him, these records are named after Kapil Dev (51 in Australia) and Ishant Sharma (51 in England).
• 50+ Test wickets in Australia and England: Bumrah’s name is now recorded and in the records of the 50 Test wickets in both Australia and England, only Lance Gibs (West Indies), Richard Hadley (New Zealand), Michael Holding (West Indies), Kurtley Ambrose (West Indies) and Kurtney Walsh (West Indies) were named before him. In this way Bumrah is the only Asian bowler in the list.
• Bumrah’s record of giving the most runs in a Test innings: Prior to this record of giving 100+ runs in Old Trafford, 99 runs against Australia (4/99 in 2024), 88 runs against New Zealand (Wellington, 1/88) and 85 runs against England (5/85 in 2018, 2018) and 84 runs (3/84 in Chennai, 2021) were the worst performance.
• This record was made in his cricket career for the 6th time: This record came for the first time in the entire first class cricket career (137 innings) and for the first time after the Gujarat-Jharkhand Ranji Trophy semi-final in January 2017.
• Give 100+ runs for the first time in 48th Test: In mentioning this record of Bumrah, discussion of Kurtali Ambrose is necessary. After giving 108 runs in an innings in the first match of his career, Ambros never gave 100 runs in an innings in the next 97 Tests.
