India's star pacer Jasprit Bumrah marked a significant milestone in his career by completing 400 international wickets during the first Test against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. He achieved this feat on the second day of the match by dismissing Hasan Mahmud for 9 runs, with Virat Kohli taking the catch in the slips.
Bumrah, who made his international debut in 2016, became only the sixth Indian fast bowler to reach this landmark, joining the ranks of legendary players such as Kapil Dev, Zaheer Khan, Javagal Srinath, Mohammed Shami, and Ishant Sharma.
