BIRMINGHAM: Jasprit Bumrah finished the Covid-delayed fifth Test at Edgbaston having set a new record for the most wickets taken by an India bowler during a series in England.
His first-innings haul of 3-68 — which included all of England’s top three — surpassed Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s record of 19 wickets during a five-match series in 2014.
Bumrah added to his tally by taking 2-74 during England’s second innings in Birmingham.
The 28-year-old ended the series with 23 wickets at 22.47, but for all his efforts the fast bowler was unable to prevent England chasing down a target of 378 with more than two sessions to spare in a seven-wicket win.
Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow both hit unbeaten hundreds as England ended the five-match series all square at 2-2.
