Bumrah Pant Break Historic Records
In a thrilling first Test match against England at Headingley, Bumrah and Pant break records that etched their names in Indian cricket history. Jasprit Bumrah became the highest wicket-taker in SENA countries for India, while Rishabh Pant overtook MS Dhoni’s record for most Test centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper.
Bumrah Surpasses Wasim Akram in SENA Wickets
Jasprit Bumrah leads India’s fast bowling legacy
Jasprit Bumrah delivered yet another masterclass in pace bowling during the first Test at Headingley. With his fiery spells, he surpassed the legendary Wasim Akram in the list of most Test wickets in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) countries.
Wasim Akram held 146 wickets in these challenging overseas conditions. Bumrah overtook him with his 147th wicket, making him the most successful bowler in SENA Tests among subcontinent pacers. This record puts Bumrah ahead of some of the greatest bowlers in cricket history, especially given the difficulty of bowling in SENA nations.
Bumrah’s rise continues to inspire a generation of Indian fast bowlers. His ability to perform in away conditions has redefined India’s bowling strength in Tests.
Pant Breaks Dhoni’s Record with Seventh Century
Rishabh Pant hits 134, overtakes Dhoni’s 6 Test tons
While Bumrah shined with the ball, it was Rishabh Pant who made headlines with the bat. In the same match, Pant scored a brilliant 134-run century in the first innings, including six massive sixes. With this hundred, he surpassed MS Dhoni’s record of most Test centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper.
Dhoni had six Test tons in his career. Pant, still in his mid-20s, now has seven Test centuries, establishing himself as India’s most prolific wicketkeeper-batsman in red-ball cricket.
What made Pant’s century even more special was his fearless approach. He brought up his hundred with a six, a symbol of his bold playing style. His knock was full of counter-attacking cricket, helping India recover from early setbacks.
India’s Bright Future: Youth Breaking Records
The Headingley Test was a reminder that India’s next generation is here to dominate world cricket. Bumrah’s consistency with the ball and Pant’s flair with the bat show a perfect balance of discipline and aggression. With these record-breaking performances, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant have carved out a place among the greats, with many more milestones likely to come.
