Jasprit Bumrah claimed his third five-wicket haul to wrap up Australia’s first innings on 151 on day three of the third Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday.
Bumrah picked the wickets of Marcus Harris, Shaun Marsh, Travis Head, Tim Paine, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood to become the first Asian bowler to take a five-wicket haul in Australia, England and South Africa in the s🍷ame calendar year.
The 25-yea♏r-old waded into the Australian batting lineup with figures of 6-33, the best for an Indian fast bowler Down Under since 1985. These are also the career-best figures for Bumrah in Test cricket. He claimed 5-54 against South Africa at the Wanderers stadium in January this year.
With 45 wickets to his name, Bumrah also surpassed Dileep Doshi to 🐬register most wickets for India in his debut Test ye𒅌ar. In 1979, Dileep Doshi took 40 wickets in his debut Test year, which was a record until Bumrah broke it in 2018.

Quality b🍌owling from India, th♑e entire attack playing their part. continues to produce magic, the slower ball and yorker quite often underused in Test cricket.

Bumrah is the bowlꦦing equivalent of the 360 degrees batsman.

What an outstanding bowling effort from India and𒈔 a really special effort from Jasprit Bumrah. He has been the best bowler on display across both sides by some distance and has put India in a really dominating position
— VVS Laxman (@VVSLaxman281)
As good a day of fast bowling as you can see … is outstanding !! He should have got a bag full in Perth but gets his rewards in Melbourne … The Aussies batting once again fails under pressure … Technically so poor …
