5 problems… 1 solution – JASPRIT BUMRAH!
Ohhh, Jassi just keeps on delivering the goods, doesn’t he? 🔥
With yet another fiery five-fer away from home, BOOM now stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the legendary Kapil Dev for the most five-wicket hauls in overseas Tests by an Indian! That's an elite company and our Boom has earned every bit of it!

No matter the pitch, conditions or continent – Bumrah has been India’s go-to guy when it’s crunch time. Over the past few years, he’s turned pressure into performance, time and again. 👊
England’s cloudy skies? Australia’s bounce? South Africa’s wildfire? Windies carnival? Bumrah’s mastered ‘em all. The dude’s practically got a passport stamp for every match-winning spell! 🎯
What makes it even better? That scary run-up, laser-like precision & toe-crushing yorkers have become a torture for batters and a dream for Indians. And when the team needs a breakthrough, who delivers? We need not say any more... ☺️
Let’s not forget – these aren’t just any ordinary five-fers. These are game-shifting, series-defining performances. 🫡 The kind that gets dressing rooms buzzing and fans dancing in their living rooms. And guess what? He’s not done yet.
With his name now etched alongside Kapil Paaji, one thing’s for sure – we’re witnessing an all-time great in his prime. And as always, Paltan is beaming with pride. 🙌
On that note, here’s a lowdown of his fifers in away Test matches right from his first instance, garnished by our ever-growing love for this man!
