The Indian team is playing the fifth Test against England under the leadership of Jasprit Bumrah. He has been appointed as the stand-in skipper of India in the absence of Rohit Sharma. Without even bowling a single over, Bumrah made it to the headlines in the morning on the second day of the Test match.

The 28-year-old, who is known for troubling the batters across the world, left everyone shocked with power-hitting batting display. He registered a world record to his name in Stuart Broad's over in the first innings. Bumrah smacked Broad for 35 runs in a single over in a Test match. With that, Bumrah has become the only batter in the world to smash the most runs in an over in a Test match.

The Ahmedabad-based pacer scored 35 runs from the over of Nottingham’s senior English pacer Broad. Bumrah smashed three boundaries and two massive sixes in that over. Previously, the record of scoring most in an over Test match was held by West Indies batting great Brian Lara and former Aussie batter George Bailey.
