Bumrah is breaking one record after another
If Jasprit Bumrah takes a 5 wicket haul in this series, he will become the Indian bowler to take the most 5 wickets on foreign soil. Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan and Australia's Shane Warne hold the record of taking 5 wickets in 5 innings abroad for the most number of times i.e. 22 each. Among active bowlers, Nathan Lyon is on top by doing this 15 times.
