IND vs ENG / Bumrah will create history in England, the record of Pakistani bowler will be broken

Shubman Gill will lead the Indian Test team for the first time when it will tour England from June 20, while Bumrah will lead the fast attack. Bumrah needs just 2 wickets to break Wasim Akram's record in SENA countries. He can soon become the number-1 Asian fast bowler.

IND vs ENG: The Indian cricket team is all set to play a historic five-match Test series against England, starting June 20. The series will kick off at the iconic Headingley ground in Leeds. This series holds special significance for India in many ways. For the first time in Test cricket, young batsman Shubman Gill has been handed the captaincy, while the pace attack will once again be spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah, who has a golden opportunity to set a major record during the series.

Bumrah Eyes Record for Most Wickets in SENA Countries

Jasprit Bumrah is on the verge of becoming the Asian bowler with the most Test wickets in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia). The record currently belongs to Wasim Akram of Pakistan, who took 146 wickets in SENA nations. Bumrah is just behind with 145 wickets, and if he takes two more wickets in the first Test against England, he will surpass Akram to become the top Asian wicket-taker in these countries.

Additionally, if Bumrah manages to take 5 wickets in the series, he will become the first Asian bowler to reach 150 Test wickets in SENA nations, which would be a historic milestone for any Indian fast bowler.

Top Asian Bowlers with Most Test Wickets in SENA Countries:

Rank	Bowler	Wickets
1	Wasim Akram (PAK)	146
2	Jasprit Bumrah (IND)	145
3	Anil Kumble (IND)	141
4	Ishant Sharma (IND)	130
5	Muttiah Muralitharan (SL)	125

Bumrah’s Brilliant Test Career

Since making his Test debut in January 2018, Jasprit Bumrah has taken 205 wickets in 86 innings of 45 Test matches. He has claimed five or more wickets in an innings on 13 occasions. His record against England is particularly impressive—he has picked up 60 wickets in 14 Tests, including 37 wickets in 9 matches played in England, with two five-wicket hauls on English soil.

A New Era: Gill’s Leadership and Bumrah’s Firepower

With Shubman Gill taking over as captain, India embarks on a new chapter, hoping for bold and fearless leadership. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah, armed with experience and pace, is ready to torment English batsmen. He not only has a chance to create history but also bears the responsibility of leading India to another major overseas Test series victory.
