Bumrah returned with the figures of 5 for 74 in 27 overs during England's first innings at Lord's.
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.
After the second day’s play at Lord’s, Jasprit Bumrah addressed the media and hit back at his critics, who questioned his absence from the second Test at Edgbaston to manage workload.
The plan was always going to make Bumrah play three Tests and head coach Gautam Gambhir had said that it won't be altered despite the loss in the series opener at Headingley.
Addressing the criticism, Bumrah said he could not stop the discussions as there are too many cameras around, and everyone wants to cover the Indian team just to boost their social media viewership.
The right-arm quick also stated that it is a very good feeling to get on the Lord's Honours Board. “It's good to be on the Honours board, but I know that discussions will keep happening. There are so many cameras here. Even when we practice, there are so many cameras,” said Bumrah.
“This is the era of views, subscribers. I know that everyone wants to create something sensational. Things happen, but it's not in my hands,” he added.
Bumrah also cited the example of Sachin Tendulkar, saying that even the legendary batter was constantly judged throughout his illustrious career.
“Log paise kama rahe hai mere through toh achi baat hai. At least they will give me blessings that I gave them viewership. But I don't think about all those things. You will be judged as long as you are wearing this jersey. Every cricketer goes through that,” said Bumrah.
“As long as I am on TV, judgments will keep coming. Obviously, that's part and parcel of professional sport. You will always be judged by your performances day in and day out. Sachin sir played 200 Test matches, and he was also still judged. So everybody judges. That's how it is,” he remarked.
Coming to the Lord's Test, England posted 387 on the board in their first innings while India are 145/3 with KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant unbeaten at the crease. The tourists are still trailing by 242 runs.
