Jasprit Bumrah is on the brink of achieving several milestones as India head into the pivotal fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Melbourne. With 15 wickets already at the MCG, Bumrah needs just one more wicket to surpass Anil Kumble to become the most-wicket taking Indian bowler in Melbourne. A five-wicket haul in this match would also make him the first Indian bowler to claim 20 wickets at the MCG.

Additionally, Bumrah is just nine wickets away from becoming the first Indian fast bowler to take 30 wickets in a single Border-Gavaskar Trophy edition. The current all-time record of 32 wickets in one series, held by Harbhajan Singh from the 2000-01 edition, is also within reach.

Leading the series wicket-takers with 21 dismissals in three matches, Bumrah’s remarkable form has kept India in contention, with the series delicately poised at 1-1. India will heavily depend on their star pacer’s performance to tip the scales in the decider and potentially write a historic chapter in Indian cricket.
