India vs England day 3 in stats featuring Jasprit Bumrah’s record-setting day

India’s pace spearhead also scaled new heights in terms of sheer performance of Test bowlers at their peaks, catching up with the primes of Pakistani legends Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram.

Here are the top stats and records from India vs England Day 3’s play at Leeds:

150 – Jasprit Bumrah became the 30th bowler to record 150 Test wickets in SENA countries (including home bowlers). Only Vernon Philander (20.84) holds a better average than Bumrah (20.88) in the four countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia).

11 – Bumrah equalled R Ashwin (11 in 78 innings) for the most five-wickets hauls in the World Test Championship in only 67 innings.

12 – Bumrah equalled Kapil Dev for the most Test five-fors among Indian bowlers in away Tests. The tally is also the highest by any pacer in the 21st century.

30.9 – Bumrah’s strike rate in his last 20 Tests (37 innings) since Jan 2022 for his 103 wickets is the best for any bowler in history in a 20-match sequence, eclipsing Waqar Younis (32.46 for 133 wickets).

15.27 – Bumrah’s average in his last 20 Tests is only bettered by Imran Khan (15.12 for 116 wickets between 1981-85) in a 20-match sequence among all Test pacers.

2 – For the first time in 10 years, two India pacers conceded more than 120 runs (Md Siraj 2/122 and Prasidh Krishna 3/128) in the same Test innings.

6.40 – Prasidh Krishna’s economy rate is the worst for an India pacer in a Test innings conceding at least 100 runs. Only Lahiru Kumara (6.56 for 0/164) has conceded more runs at a higher economy in a Test innings among fast bowlers.
