IND vs AUS / Bumrah will create the biggest history in Sydney, 51 year old record will be broken

IND vs AUS: The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 started on 22 November, and this series filled the cricket lovers with excitement. Team India, under the captaincy of Jasprit Bumrah, registered a thumping win in Perth to take a 1-0 lead in the 5-match Test series, but whatever happened after that shocked the cricket world. Rohit Sharma returned as captain in the second Test match and Team India suffered a crushing defeat by 10 wickets in the day-night Test played in Adelaide. Then the Gabba Test was drawn, but in the Melbourne Test, Team India suffered a humiliating defeat by 184 runs. Now in the Sydney Test, Team India will take the field to save the series.

However, in the four Test matches of this series, the performance of one player has been consistently excellent, and that is India's star bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah troubled the Kangaroo batsmen with his bowling from the very first Test match and has taken a total of 30 wickets in 8 innings so far. Bumrah has been the highest wicket-taker in this series, while Australia's most successful bowler Pat Cummins has also been able to take only 20 wickets in this series. Bumrah's brilliant performance has further increased his stature.

Bumrah has a chance to create new history in Sydney Test

Now let's talk about the record that will be on Bumrah's target. Jasprit Bumrah achieved the feat of taking a total of 86 wickets in all three formats in 2024. He was also the highest wicket-taker in Test cricket in the year 2024, taking 71 wickets in 26 innings of 13 Test matches. Bumrah now has a great opportunity to create new history in Test cricket in 2025.

Bumrah moving towards a new record

If Bumrah takes a total of 6 more wickets in both innings in the Sydney Test, he will become the Indian bowler to take the most wickets in a Test series. This record was held by B.S. Chandrasekhar for 51 years and 10 months, who achieved the feat of taking 35 wickets in a 5-match Test series against England in 1972-73. Given Bumrah's excellent form, the chances of this record being broken are very high, and this could prove to be another historic moment for the cricket world.

Conclusion

While the matches have become tough for Team India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Jasprit Bumrah's brilliant performance has taken this series to a different level. His goal now is to create another history, which will be remembered for a long time in Indian cricket. Everyone's eyes will be on Bumrah's performance in the Sydney Test, and it is expected that he will break this record and give a new milestone to Indian cricket.
