Bumrah shines for India at Gabba
Meanwhile, Bumrah's brilliance continues to shine on the international stage. In the third Test against Australia at Gabba, he was India's lone hero, picking up six wickets and almost single-handedly keeping his side in the contest. On a pitch that offered little assistance to bowlers, Bumrah's class stood out as he delivered a five-wicket haul, marking his eighth in SENA countries, a record for an Indian bowler. This achievement surpassed the record previously held by Kapil Dev, who had seven five-wicket hauls in these countries.
