Highlight

  • Stuart Broad accepts Test cricket’s most expensive over
  • Jasprit Bumrah runs ahead of Brian Lara for most runs in an over in Test cricket
  • Bumrah hit 4 fours and 2 sixes and scored 31 runs at a strike rate of 193.75

Edgbaston| India is currently on a rampage and how. They are chasing the fact of “making Test cricket great once again”. With Baz McCullum at the helm of English cricket, Ben Stokes’s team was a favorite to sport a fiery brand of cricket, but it seems India is giving a taste of its own medicine. Who would have thought that a team that was trailing 71/5 at one point in time would go on in tough swing conditions and score 400-plus.

Rishabh Pant and . did Ravindra Jadeja They are wreaking havoc on England’s bowling with their counter-attack style of cricket. Together they added 222 runs and took India’s score past 300. When play resumed on the second day at Edgbaston, not many believed that India would cross 400 once Pant was dismissed and Jadeja batted with the tail. The task seemed even more difficult when both Jadeja and Shami walked into the dressing room with Siraj and Bumrah.

Most runs in an over in Test cricket:

  • 35: Bumrah Off Broad, Birmingham 2022
  • 28: Lara of Peterson, Johannesburg 2003
  • 28: Bailey of Anderson, Perth 2013

Stuart Broad, who took his 550th wicket as Mohammed Shami, was excited to take the last two wickets cheaply and restrict India under 400, but the Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah He had some other plans in the back of his mind. The Mumbai Indians legend, who is leading India in the final Test match, took on Broad and showed no mercy to him.

Stuart Broad may have done a deja vu in Yuvraj Singh’s over in his 2007 T20I World Cup as Bumrah hit him for 4 fours and 2 sixes in an over. The English pacer conceded 35 runs, making him the only bowler to deliver expensive overs in both T20I and Test cricket.

As the match hangs in the balance, it will be interesting to see England’s approach towards the game.
