Jasprit Bumrah Shatters Record: Fastest Indian to 50 Home Test Wickets by Balls Bowled

Mumbai Indians pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has etched his name into the record books, becoming the fastest Indian bowler to reach 50 Test wickets on home soil by balls bowled. Bumrah achieved the milestone in just 1,747 deliveries during the first Test against the West Indies in Ahmedabad.

He finished the first innings with impressive figures of 3/42, helping India dismiss the visitors for a low total of 162. Bumrah also equaled the record for the joint-fastest Indian to 50 home Test wickets by innings played, matching the feat of legendary pacer Javagal Srinath, who also reached the mark in 24 innings. This achievement underscores Bumrah's consistency and lethal impact across all formats, reinforcing his status as one of the world's premier fast bowlers.
