No. 1 in the ICC Test bowler Bumrah have 66 wickets in 13 Tests, while Ashwin, who announced his retirement at the end of the third Test on Wednesday, has 63 wickets in 14 Tests.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bumrah\u2019s brilliance was on full display in Brisbane. In Australia\u2019s second innings, after dismissing Khawaja, the pacer scalped Marnus Labuschagne for 1 and returned to clean up Pat Cummins on the first ball of his second spell.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Across both innings, Bumrah finished with a remarkable match haul of 9-94 in 34 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bumrah\u2019s meteoric rise has put him in contention to break several records. If he manages to pick up six wickets in the remaining two matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he will surpass Ravichandran Ashwin\u2019s record of most wickets for India in a single WTC cycle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ashwin, who remains India\u2019s second-highest wicket-taker in Test history, had claimed 71 scalps in 14 Tests during the inaugural 2019-21 WTC, with Australian spin wizard Nathan Lyon leading the chart with 88 wickets in 20 matches, a feat he achieved during the 2021-23 edition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Moreover, on Wednesday, Bumrah also became India\u2019s leading Test wicket-taker in Australia. He surpassed Kapil Dev\u2019s previous record of 51 wickets during the second session on the final day of the Gabba Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, the 31-year-old pace maestro registered his third Test five-wicket haul in Australia on day two of the third Test. Among Indian bowlers, only Kapil Dev has more five-wicket hauls in Australia, with a total of five, while Anil Kumble sits second in the list with four five-fers on Australian soil.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
