ENG v IND 2025: Cricket fraternity lauds Jasprit Bumrah as he breaks Kapil Dev’s record with maiden fifer at Lord’s

Bumrah returned with the figures of 5 for 74 in 27 overs during England's first innings at Lord's.

Jasprit Bumrah etched his name in the history books on Friday (July 11) as he became first Indian bowler to claim 13 five-wicket hauls in Tests away from home.

Bumrah, who holds the No. 1 spot in the ICC Men’s Test Rankings for bowlers, achieved the feat home during England’s first innings of the ongoing third Test at Lord’s.

In doing so, the ace fast bowler surpassed legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev's record of most five-wicket hauls for India in Tests played away from home.

Having taken just a single wicket on Day 1 of the Lord’s Test, Bumrah rocked England on Friday morning with the wickets of Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes.

The Indian pace spearhead dismissed comeback man Jofra Archer for his fifth wicket - his 15th instance of picking up a five-wicket haul in the traditional format of the game. It was Bumrah's 13th fifer in 35 away Tests, thus surpassing Kapil's record of 12 in 66 matches.

Bumrah's sensational spell of 5 for 74 in 27 overs helped India bundle out England for 387 in the first innings at Lord’s.

For his exceptional bowling figures, Jasprit Bumrah received rich praise from the cricket fraternity on social media.
