India's ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who turns 28, has established himself as one of the finest Indian bowlers of all time.
Bumrah also holds impressive records to his name. The pacer is the first Asian bowler to register 5 wickets in a Test innings in South Africa, England and Australia in the same calendar year.
In his Test debut year, Bumrah recorded 48 wickets, surpassing Dileep Joshi to break a 40-year Indian record in the longest format of the game.
On the occasion of his birthday, here's a throwback to the time when Bumrah scripted a unique achievement in Test cricket.
In 2019, Bumrah became the third Indian bowler to take a hat-trick in Test cricket after he dismissed Darren Bravo, Shamarh Brooks and Roston Chase off consecutive balls on Day 2 of the second Test between India and West Indies.
it was the 44th instance of a bowler bagging a hat-trick in the history of Test cricket and the third time Indian to do so. Harbhajan Singh did so in the historic Eden Gardens Test between India and Australia in 2001 when he got Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist and Shane Warne off consecutive deliveries.
Irfan Pathan then dismissed Salman Butt, Younis Khan, and Mohammad Yousuf in the third Test of India's 2005-06 tour of Pakistan in Karachi.
To add to his achievements in Test cricket, Bumrah has also won the Indian Premier League title with Mumbai Indians for a record five times.
