• By match’s edge, his total Test wickets stood at 210, including the overseas wickets .

🌍 Why SENA Matters

SENA countries present the toughest testing grounds for bowlers—exhibiting seam, swing, and pace. Bumrah achieved this landmark in just 32 Tests and 60 innings, faster than any other Asian, outpacing Akram and Anil Kumble . His average there is a phenomenal 20.88, second only to Vernon Philander (20.84) among bowlers with 150+ SENA wickets.

🏆 Records & Comparisons

• Five-wicket hauls: His 5/83 in Leeds marked his 14th Test fifer overall.

• Asian elite: Bumrah joins Akram (146) and Kumble (141) as the only Asians with 140+ SENA wickets.

• Global company: Beyond Asia, only Courtney Walsh (213) and Curtly Ambrose (184) have 150+ in those nations.

🔍 Break-up Across Countries

Per ESPNcricinfo data:

• Australia: 64 wickets in 12 Tests at 17.15 average

• England: 42 wickets in 10 Tests at 25.11

• South Africa: 38 wickets in 8 Tests at 20.76

• New Zealand: 6 wickets in 2 Tests at 31.66

Notable highlight: In the 2024–25 Border‑Gavaskar Trophy, Bumrah was Player of the Series in Australia, claiming 32 scalps at an outstanding 13.06 average.

💡 Why It Matters

• Beating legends: Surpassing Wasim Akram’s SENA tally is monumental, and in fewer matches too.

• Consistency under pressure: Maintaining sub-21 averages on foreign pitches cements his dominance.

• Fast-bowling legacy: He’s advancing India’s reputation for pace attacks in traditionally spinner-friendly eras.
