**Chennai, India -** Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has achieved a significant milestone, becoming the 10th Indian bowler to claim 400 wickets in international cricket. Bumrah reached this landmark during the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai, where he bagged four wickets for 50 runs in Bangladesh’s first innings.
In a career spanning 196 international matches, Bumrah has now taken 401 wickets at an impressive average of 21.01, with a best bowling figure of 6/19. He is only the sixth Indian pacer to achieve this feat.
Despite a shaky start for India, with the top order collapsing to 34/3, a strong partnership between Yashasvi Jaiswal (56) and Rishabh Pant (39) helped bring India back into the game. A monumental 199-run stand between Ravichandran Ashwin (113) and Ravindra Jadeja (86*) ultimately guided India to a total of 376 runs.
Bangladesh, led by Hasan Mahmud’s impressive five-wicket haul, initially looked to capitalize on India’s early struggles. However, Bumrah’s four-wicket haul and support from Akash Deep (2/19) turned the tide in India’s favour, leaving Bangladesh struggling to build a strong foundation.
This significant milestone further solidifies Bumrah’s position as one of India’s most formidable bowlers, demonstrating his consistent prowess across various formats of the game.
