When Jasprit Bumrah takes the ball in the upcoming Leeds Test against England, fans won’t just be watching for his trademark yorkers or lethal spells — they’ll be watching history in the making.

Just 5 Wickets Away from Making History

If Bumrah takes 5 wickets in this Test, he will:

• Surpass Wasim Akram’s record of 146 wickets in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia).

• Become the first Asian bowler to take 150 Test wickets in these nations — considered the toughest for subcontinent pacers.

Currently, Bumrah has:

• 145 wickets in 68 innings across SENA nations.

• Wasim Akram managed 146 wickets in 55 innings over 18 years.

• Bumrah? He’s doing it in just 7 years of Test cricket.

Bumrah’s SENA Stats Speak Volumes

• Australia: 64 wickets in 23 innings

• South Africa: 38 wickets in 15 innings

• England: 37 wickets in 15 innings

• New Zealand: 6 wickets in 4 innings

These numbers highlight not only Bumrah's consistency but also his adaptability on bouncy, seam-friendly, and often unforgiving tracks.

Bumrah: England’s Biggest Nightmare?

The Leeds pitch is expected to offer pace and movement — a perfect setting for Bumrah’s skillset. He’s already proven his worth in English conditions and has been in red-hot form recently. Not to forget, he took 32 wickets in just 5 Tests during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, earning him the Player of the Series.

If there’s anyone who can dismantle England’s batting order in a session or two, it’s Bumrah.
