Jasprit Bumrah continued his rampaging run in international cricket in 2024, overtaking legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev in two important bowling parameters, further establishing his case as perhaps India's best pacer in overseas conditions

On Day 2 of the IND vs AUS 3rd Test at Brisbane, Bumrah snapped the wickets of Steve Smith and Travis Head who piled on runs. Removing both centurions, he ended the day with figures of 5/72 in 25 overs

This was Bumrah's 10th five-wicket haul outside Asia, leaving behind Kapil Dev's tally of nine five-wicket hauls outside Asia

Bumrah has three five-wicket hauls in Australia, three in South Africa and two each in West Indies and England. On the other hand, Kapil Dev took five fifers in Australia, two fifers in England and the West Indies each

Also, this is Bumrah's eighth five-wicket haul in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia) conditions, outdoing Kapil once again, who had seven five-wicket hauls in SENA countries

This five-wicket haul also makes Bumrah the bowler with the third-highest five-wicket hauls in the history of the ICC World Test Championship, tying with Australian skipper Pat Cummins who has 9 five-wicket hauls

Only Australia's Nathan Lyon (10) and Indian spin legend Ravichandran Ashwin (11) have the most five-wicket hauls

Bumrah is the leading wicket-taker in international cricket this year, with 73 scalps in just 20 matches at an average of 13.78 and best figures of 6/45. He has taken four five-wicket hauls. In 12 Tests, he has taken 58 wickets, the most by any bowler this year, at an average of 15.20 and best figures of 6/45. He has taken all four fifers in Tests
