Jasprit Bumrah is leading India\u2019s bowling attack in the ongoing first Test against South Africa at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, and on Day 1, he picked up five wickets for 27 runs in his quota of 14 overs. The five-wicket haul by Bumrah on Friday (November 14) helped him become the first fast bowler in 17 years to dismiss at least five batters on Day 1 of a red-ball match played in India.<\/p>\n

The last fast bowler to take at least five wickets on Day 1 of a red-ball Test in India was Dale Steyn of South Africa.<\/p>\n

Steyn picked up five wickets for 23 runs in eight overs against India in Ahmedabad on April 3, 2008.<\/p>\n

On November 22, 2019, Ishant Sharma also picked up five wickets for 22 runs in 12 overs on Day 1 of a Test match played in Kolkata, but that fixture was played with a pink ball.<\/p>\n

In October 2024, New Zealand\u2019s Matt Henry dismissed five Indian batters on the scheduled second day of the Bengaluru Test after the entire first day\u2019s play was washed out.<\/p>\n

The fifer by Bumrah on Friday is his 16th five-wicket haul in Test cricket. Only four bowlers \u2013 Ravichandran Ashwin, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh and Kapil Dev \u2013 have picked up more five-wicket hauls in Tests for India than Bumrah.<\/p>\n

In the list of bowlers with the most five-wicket hauls in Tests between India and South Africa, Bumrah is now only behind Dale Steyn and Ashwin. Both Ashwin and Steyn finished their Test careers with five five-wicket hauls, whereas Bumrah has four five-wicket hauls to his credit.<\/p>\n

The five wickets by Bumrah on Friday also helped him take his tally of wickets to 231 in Test cricket, which is two more than Mohammed Shami\u2019s tally of 229 in 64 matches.<\/p>\n

Bumrah opened his wicket account on Friday by dismissing Ryan Rickelton. The left-handed opening batter was bowled by the world No. 1 Test bowler after he added 23 runs from 22 balls to South Africa\u2019s total.<\/p>\n

Aiden Markram was the second South African batter who was sent back to the dugout by Bumrah.\u00a0 The right-handed batter was caught behind by Rishabh Pant.<\/p>\n

Bumrah\u2019s third wicket came in the form of Tony de Zorzi. The left-handed batter was trapped in front of the wickets by the 31-year-old on the third ball of the 33rd over.<\/p>\n

Bumrah picked his last two wickets in the 55th over of South Africa\u2019s innings. On the third ball he bowled Simon Harmer (5), and on the sixth ball trapped Keshav Maharaj in front of the wickets.<\/p>\n
