Most runs in an over in Test Ft. Jasprit Bumrah

Who would have anticipated that India's premier pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, would hold a record typically associated with batters?

India’s batting has been disappointing in the IND vs AUS 3rd Test, with four wickets falling for just 50 runs at the Gabba in Brisbane. When Jasprit Bumrah addressed the press conference, he reminded the reporters of his unique record—scoring the most runs in a single over in Test cricket.

Bumrah displayed his wit when a reporter suggested he might not be the best person to comment on India’s batting struggles. The pacer, who has been exceptional with the ball in the ongoing Brisbane Test, picking up crucial wickets, highlighted his batting credentials. Despite his efforts, Team India finds itself in a tough position after yet another top-order collapse on Day 3.
