IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah is one of the shining stars of Indian cricket, whose bowling has created a stir in world cricket. His deadly yorker and unique bowling style have made him one of the best fast bowlers in the world. Bumrah is in great form on the current England tour and has taken 12 wickets in two Test matches. Now he is likely to play in the fourth Test match as well, where he is on the verge of creating history.

Opportunity to surpass Imran Khan and Muralitharan

Jasprit Bumrah has a golden opportunity in the fourth Test match. If he manages to take five-wicket hauls in both innings of this match, he will become the Asian bowler with the most five-wicket hauls in Test cricket in England. So far, Bumrah has taken four five-wicket hauls in England, which brings him at par with Pakistan legend Imran Khan. Sri Lanka's great spinner Muttiah Muralitharan tops this list with five five-wicket hauls. Bumrah has a chance to leave these two giants behind.

Asian bowlers who have taken the most 5-wicket hauls in Tests in England:

  • Muttiah Muralitharan: 5 times
  • Jasprit Bumrah: 4 times
  • Imran Khan: 4 times
  • Waqar Younis: 3 times
Bumrah's dominance in England

Bumrah has played 11 Test matches on England's soil so far and has taken a total of 49 wickets. These include four five-wicket hauls, which shows his consistency and skill. He remains the leader of the Indian bowling attack in the current series as well. It is very important for India to win the fourth Test match to stay in the series, and Bumrah's role will be important in this. His accurate yorker and swing bowling is no less than a nightmare for England's batsmen.

Manchester: Challenging ground for India

The fourth Test match will be played at Old Trafford ground in Manchester, where the Indian team's record has not been very encouraging. India has played 9 Test matches on this ground so far, out of which it has lost four and five have been draws. India has not won a single Test match here. The last time India played a Test match here was in 2014, in which it lost. In such a situation, this match is important for Bumrah and the Indian team not only to win the series but also to create history in Manchester.
