India vs England Test Series: Everyone will be eyeing Jaspreet Bumrah in the five -match Test series starting in Leeds from June 20, between India and England. He will lead the Indian bowling attack. Bumrah has taken 60 wickets for India in 14 Tests played against England so far. The bowler, who won ICC cricketer and ICC Test Cricketer of the Year Award in 2024, has wreaked havoc against the British.

Bumrah needs 13 wickets

Bumrah will have a chance to get a big record on the tour of England. He has so far taken 46 wickets against England in 11 World Test Championships (WTC) matches. If he takes at least 13 wickets during the next five matches, then he will cross the 58 wicket figure of Ravichandran Ashwin. In such a situation, Bumrah will become the most wicket -taking Indian bowler during the World Test Championship against England.

Ashwin shocks 58 wickets

Ashwin retired from international cricket last year. He played 9 matches against England in WTC and dismissed 58 batsmen. The record of taking the most wickets against England in this tournament is in the name of Australia’s Test captain Pat Cummins. Cummins has taken 68 wickets in 14 matches.
