Jasprit Bumrah broke havoc in England, was beaten so much for the first time in 48 Test cricket career
Jasprit Bumrah Worst Test Figures: Manchester Test is proving to be very challenging for Team India’s star Pesar Jaspreet Bumrah. The England batsmen completely demolished the Indian attack and also took a tough test to Bumrah. For the first time after the debut, such an unwanted figure of his career was recorded which would not like to remember.
Manchester’s Old Trafford Test (fourth Indo-England Test) has not been a memorable match for the world’s number-1 Test bowler Jaspreet Bumrah, but has proved to be a ‘forgetable’ match. On the fourth day, the England batsmen beat up the Indian attack fiercely and hit more than 600 runs in the first innings, while India’s first innings was reduced to 358 runs.
During this, Indian bowlers Mohammad Siraj, Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar all took over 100 runs and distributed 7 wickets. But this was especially a shock for Bumrah, as for the first time after debut (2018), he gave more than 100 runs in an innings.
Bumrah’s figures were 33 overs, 2 wickets, 112 runs (economy 3.39), which is the most expensive performance of his 48 Test career. Earlier, the most expensive figure of his career was in the Boxing Day Test (2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy), where he took 4 wickets for 99 runs.
The most expensive figures of Bumrah’s Test career (according to the innings)
- 112/2 – vs England (Manchester)
- 99/4 – vs Australia (Melbourne)
- 88/1 – vs New Zealand (Wellington)
- 85/5 – vs England (Nottingham)
- 84/3 – vs England (Chennai)
Although Bumrah proved to be India’s most affordable bowler, despite the run looting, the figure was recorded as the ‘worst’ bowling figures of his career.
Talking about the match, this match has been in the name of England so far, where the hosts in Old Trafford on the fourth day, scoring a mountain of 669 runs in the first innings and took a huge lead of 311 runs over India. Joe Root and Ben Stokes have a strong hold on the basis of century innings, while India’s first innings was reduced to 358 runs.
