Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah set a world record during the Boxing Day Test between Australia and India in Melbourne. Bumrah became the first ever player in Test history to achieve 200 wickets at an average of less than 20.
It is a unique achievement for the Indian bowling spearhead who has been singing in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The 31-year-old carried the inexperienced Indian bowling attack on his shoulders and emerged as the best bowler from both sides.
