Bumrah's form is moving towards breaking many records this season. If he takes six more wickets in the remaining two matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he can break Ashwin's record of taking the most wickets for India in a single season of the WTC. Ashwin took 71 wickets in the 2019-21 season, which is the highest for India so far.
Bumrah broke Kapil Dev's record
Apart from this, Bumrah also broke the record of taking most wickets for India in Australia. He left behind Kapil Dev's record of 51 wickets in the Gabba Test. This was Bumrah's 12th five-wicket haul, and he has become the first Indian to achieve this feat by taking five-wicket haul for the 8th time in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia).
