ENG vs IND, 3rd Test: Lord's win from 2021 a special memory, says Bumrah
The Indian pace ace later admitted that his most memorable Test in England is from 2021, when he and Mohammed Shami forged an 89-run partnership for the ninth wicket to guide India to a massive victory.
In the second innings of that fixture, Shami remained unbeaten on 56, Bumrah was not out on 34. 'The most memorable Test match in England was the last time when Shami bhai and I won the match with batting. So obviously, I will remember those memories,' he said, adding with a smile that making it to the prestigious Honours Board at Lord's did make him happy.

'It's a good thing to come to the Honours Board. When my son will grow up, I can tell him that my name is on the Honours Board and it is also on many other places. But I remember the memories. In that match (in 2021), I took only three wickets, but that memory was very special for me because we came from behind and we got them out in 60 overs. So memories are more important to me. Obviously, when I play for India, I want to contribute as much as I can…'

Time and again, Bumrah's fitness has been under scrutiny, but he believes, 'as long as I wear this jersey, judgment will come. Because every cricketer goes through that. A part and parcel of a professional sport is that you will always be judged by your performances. And obviously, you will always be judged day in and day out. Even when Sachin sir played 200 Test matches, he was also still being judged.'
'That's how it is… Professional sport is like that,' said Bumrah.

Jasprit Bumrah & Rishabh Pant OUT, 3 Players IN! India's Likely Playing XI For 4th Test
Last Updated: The fourth Test of the ongoing five-match series between India and England will be played at Old Trafford in Manchester from July 23 to 27. After suffering a heartbreaking defeat by 22 runs in the third Test against England at Lord's, the Indian men's cricket team would like to come up with a big show in the fourth Test to level the series. The fourth red-ball match of the ongoing five-match series between India and England will be played at Old Trafford in Manchester from July 23 to 27. For the match at Old Trafford, Indian team management could make multiple changes to the playing XI. World No. 1 Test bowler Jasprit Bumrah could be rested for the game next week as part of his workload management. Before the start of the series, chief selector Ajit Agarkar, head coach Gautam Gambhir, captain Shubman Gill, and even Bumrah himself confirmed that he will play only three matches in England, and since the pacer has already featured in two matches out of three played so far, there is a high possibility that he will miss the game in Manchester to return for the final fixture at The Oval in London from July 31 to August 4. In addition to Bumrah, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant could also miss the match in Manchester. Pant suffered a finger injury during the first day's play of the Lord's Test, and as a result, he didn't keep after 34 overs in the first innings. There is still no clarity over Pant's injury. If he misses out, then Dhruv Jurel will replace him in the playing XI. The 24-year-old stumper from Agra impressed with his glovework during the third Test, and he has amassed a total of 202 runs in six innings of four Tests played so far. Jurel's best score in Test cricket is 90, which he registered against the English team in Ranchi last year. Another player whose place is under threat for the Manchester Test is Karun Nair. The 33-year-old right-handed batter has failed to impress with his batting in the three matches played so far. He could make way for Sai Sudharsan, who played the first Test in Leeds but was dropped for the next two fixtures. Akash Deep could only manage to take one wicket in the third Test, but if Bumrah misses out due to workload management, then he is likely to retain his place. Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur, Arshdeep Singh, and Kuldeep Yadav are the other four bowlers in India's Test squad for the England series, and for the game at Old Trafford, Arshdeep could come in for Bumrah. Arshdeep is a left-arm pacer, and his inclusion will bring variety to India's bowling attack. India's likely playing XI for the 4th Test against England: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (C), Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj view comments First Published: July 15, 2025, 09:57 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'Bumrah has the most runs in an over for a batsman': SA great slams Jasprit Bumrah for lacking intent in Lord's chase
The resilience showed by Jasprit Bumrah with the bat received applause from fans and experts worldwide, but an odd criticism has also dropped. read more As wickets tumbled on Day 5 at Lord's, Team India plunged into a shell and runs had completely dried up. Ravindra Jadeja, who against all odds put on a fight, had adopted a safety-first approach, and held on to it till the end of the match. He managed to forge a little stand with Nitish Kumar Reddy after 7 wickets were down, but the partnership could not go beyond the 30-run mark. Reddy's dismissal brought Jasprit Bumrah to the crease, who in the past has showcased his mettle with the bat. However, Jadeja tried taking most of the strike and Bumrah seemingly had only one job to do, which was to defend. The pacer knew the importance of the wicket and kept negating with a straight bat. After carefully playing 53 deliveries, his patience finally ran out and he perished at the score of 5. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Also Read | 'You set yourself up, don't you?': Jos Butler on how Washington Sundar's words fired up England at Lord's Herschelle Gibbs questions Bumrah The players in the dressing room, along with head coach Gautam Gambhir, applauded the effort put in by Bumrah. He received praise from many experts as well, but an odd criticism has also been raised. Former South African batter, Herschelle Gibbs has thrown flak at Bumrah for not displaying intent. As someone who has scored 29 runs in an over in a Test match, Bumrah can launch an onslaught with the bat. However, he remained cautious this time and did not throw his bat at anything, except one at which he hit a boundary off Jofra Archer. According to Giibs, Bumrah should have showcased an attacking intent. Came close in the end but lack of intent cost India the game . #INDvsEND — Herschelle Gibbs (@hershybru) July 14, 2025 While his post was not directed at Bumrah, the reply he gave to a user cleared out what he was referring. 'Bumrah has the most runs in an over for a batsman in test cricket.. .. where was that intent today?' Gibbs said while replying to a user. As India lost the game by a mere margin of 22 runs, in hindsight, many factors can be pointed out that could have changed the outcome, but that's all in the past and reality cannot be altered. Team India will have to brush aside the Lord's defeat and regroup immediately, as there's a Test series to be won. The 4th Test of the India vs England series will begin on July 23, 2025.
