India stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah created a new record for the most wickets taken by an Indian bowler during a Test series in England.

The pacer achieved this feat in the ongoing fifth Test against England, where he scalped three wickets and conceded 68 runs. His three-wicket haul took his tally against England in the Test series to 21.

With 21 wickets against England, Bumrah has surpassed Bhuvneshwar Kumar's record of 19 wickets during a five-match series in 2014.

Before the Edgbaston test, Bumrah had taken 123 wickets in 29 tests.

Apart from this, Bumrah took a world record of 35 runs from Stuart Broad in an over in Test cricket helping India amass 416 runs in the first innings.
