Jasprit Bumrah, who is known for his toe-crushing yorkers in world cricket, created a world record with the bat in t♛he ongoing fifth Test match against England in Birmingham on Saturday, 🐠July 2.
Bumrah, leading Team India after regular captain Rohit Sharma was ruled out of the match due🧔 to Covid-19, smashed England pacer Stuart Broad for 35 runs 🎃in the 84th over of the first innings on day two at Edgbaston.
The Indian quick hit Broad for two massive sixes (one came from a no-ball)ꦦ, 4 fours, a single and was helped with five wides in the record-breaking over.
The previous record of most runs in a single Test over was held by West Indies great Brian Lara, Australia’s George Bailey and Keshav Maharaj of South Africa.
What may be a bit embarrassing for Broad is that he, alongside Sri Lankan spinner Akila Dananjaya, is also the joint-holder of conceding most runs in an over in T20Is. The veteran England seamer conceded 36 runs in an over during a T20 World Cup match against India in 2007 when Yuvraj Singh smasꦗhed him ♎for 6 sixes off consecutive deliveries.

Bumrah’s blitz helped India in posting a big total of 416 on the board despite finding themselves in trouble (98/5) on the second session of play of Day 1. Both Rishabh Pant (146 off 111) and Ravindra Jadeja (104 off 194) hit centuries for the visitors. The duo added a💃 record partnership of 222 runs for the sixth wicket.
