Despite Unwanted First, Jasprit Bumrah Equals Ex-Teammate For Elite Test Record
On the other hand, Ishant has played 15 Test matches in England during his career, where he has managed to take 51 wickets at an average of 33.35, with the help of two five-wicket hauls.
Earlier on Friday, Bumrah completed 50 wickets in England. He became only the third Asian bowler with 50 Test wickets in England after Wasim Akram (53) and Ishant Sharma (51).
He achieved this feat against England in the fourth test match of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar trophy at Old Trafford cricket ground on Friday. He now has 50 wickets in 12 matches, averaging 26.38 and an economy rate of just 2.79.
He also has 4 wicket hauls to his name. Bumrah finished the third day of the fourth Test with 15 overs bowled, 48 runs conceded, and just one wicket of wicketkeeper Jamie Smith to show for. His overall spell reads 1/95 in 28 overs, taking into account his bowling on day two.
Despite being the third-highest wicket-taker in the series with 13 scalps in five innings at an average of 26.69, with two five-wicket hauls, the numbers still look underwhelming as he was coming back to Tests after a long injury lay-off, which happened during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 against Australia away from home, during which he took a record-shattering 32 wickets at an average of 13.06, with two four-fers and three five-wicket hauls to his name.

Rishabh Pant arrives in crutches at Old Trafford; will India batter join the fight as visitors push to save 4th Test?
Rishabh Pant's chances of batting in the second innings of the fourth Test on the fifth day looked bleak as the Indian vice-captain arrived in crutches on Sunday at Old Trafford. Pant, who took a hit while batting on the opening day of the Test match, has fractured his toe and wasn't in a situation to even stand. Despite the unbearable pain, Pant came out to bat on the second day, after having strong pain killers and scored a fifty. Dhruv Jurel has been keeping wickets for India in the Test match. While it was unclear whether Pant would bat or not, he might nit have to come out padded up unless India suffer a miraculous collapse. In a picture shared on social media by his Indian Premier League (IPL) Lucknow Super Giants, Pant was seen walking in crutches with his training kit on. After having conceded a first-inning lead of 311 runs, India started their second innings on a disastrous note losing both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan departing with no runs on board. Captain Shubman Gill and KL Rahul revived the Indian ship with a 188-run stand for the third wicket before the latter missed century by 10 runs. Gill too perished after completing his hundred. Since then its all about all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, who have forged an unbeaten century-run stand to fight against England. If assumptions are to be believed In case the ongoing partnership is broken, Shardul Thakur will come out to bat before the pacers - Anshul Kamboj , Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj - come in, before Pant might arrive. Notably, all are capable of surviving the English bowling attack in the middle.

Sourav Ganguly In Favour Of IND vs PAK Match In Asia Cup: 'Sport Must Go On...'
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly said while sports should continue, there can be no compromise or tolerance when it comes to terrorism. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has backed the Asia Cup 2025, set to be held in the UAE in September. On Saturday, Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chief Mohsin Naqvi confirmed that the tournament will take place at a neutral venue, with India and Pakistan placed in the same group. The ACC even rolled out the fixtures according to which the arch-rivals will lock horns on September 13. The announcement soon sparked outrage on social media, with many in India criticising the decision to play against Pakistan in light of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed over 20 civilian lives. 'I am okay [with the Aisa Cup]. The sport must go on. At the same time, Pahalgam should not have happened, but the sport must go on. Terrorism must not happen; it needs to be stopped. India took a strong stance towards terrorism. But the sport needs to be played," the former Indian captain said.
