After dismissing Nathan Lyon in the opening over of the final morning in the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne, India’s bowling ace Jasprit Bumrah<\/a> registered his 30th wicket of the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) series, a mark that hadn’t been touched by a visiting bowler on Australian soil for over three decades.
While Bumrah is only the second Indian after spin legend Bishan Singh Bedi to take 30 or more wickets in a single Test series in Australia, he is the first visiting bowler to touch that mark since the legendary West Indies pacer Curtly Ambrose‘s 33 wickets during the Caribbean team’s 1992-93 tour.
Bedi took 31 wickets in five Tests during India’s 1967-68 tour.<\/p>\n

England’s John Snow (31 wickets in 1970-71) and New Zealand’s Richard Hadlee (33 wickets in 1985-86) are the other two who have taken 30 or more wickets in a Test series in Australia in the last 70 years.
But Bumrah has the best strike rate among all five at a staggering 28.2. Also, Bumrah’s stunning average of 12.83 in this BGT is only second to Hadlee’s 12.15 for bowlers with 20-plus wickets in any series in Australia.
Continuing his bowling show that ranks among one of the greatest in the history of Test cricket, Bumrah also completed his third five-for of the series, which made him the fourth Indian bowler and the first Indian pacer to do that in a Test series in Australia, after spinners Bedi, BS Chandrasekhar and Anil Kumble.<\/p>\n

As far as the BGT is concerned, Bumrah now tops the list of bowlers with most wickets in a single edition of the BGT played in Australia. He has gone past Ben Hilfenhaus’s 27 wickets, which the Aussie pacer took in the 2011-12 series.
With three more wickets, Bumrah will break Harbhajan’s Singh’s record for most wickets in a single edition of the BGT. Harbhajan took 32 wickets with his off-spin in the 2001 series hosted by India.
Australia, who were bowled out for 234 in their second innings on Monday, set India a daunting target of 340 to win on the final day.
The five-Test series is tied at 1-1, with the concluding match to be played in Sydney.<\/div>\n
