Jasprit Bumrah breaks Kapil Dev's massive record with a five-fer on Day 2 of ENG vs IND 2025 Lord’s Test 

India ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah scripted history on Day 2 of the third Test against England at Lord’s on Friday, July 11. The World No.1-ranked Test bowler bagged a five-wicket haul to go past former India skipper Kapil Dev for most fifers in away Tests for the Men in Blue.

After knocking over World No.1 batter Harry Brook on the opening day, he took the prized scalps of skipper Ben Stokes and centurion Joe Root on Day 2. The speedster then sent back Chris Woakes and Jofra Archer to complete his fifer.

Most away five-wicket hauls for India in Tests:

1. Bumrah – 13
2. Kapil Dev – 12
3. Anil Kumble -10
4. Ishant Sharma -9

Sharing the stats (via JioHotstar live feed) on X, former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif lauded Bumrah for his exploits. The cricketer-turned-commentator tagged the bowler and wrote:

“People take a lifetime to do all this, you did in few years.”

Overall, Jasprit Bumrah has 15 fifers in 47* Tests (and counting). Legendary off-spinner and former World No.1 bowler Ravichandran Ashwin (37) holds the record for most five-wicket hauls for India, comprising both home and away games.

Notably, Bumrah had also scalped a fifer in the first Test against England at Headingley. He was rested for the second Test at Edgbaston.
