With this performance, Bumrah has equaled the legendary Kapil Dev's record for the most five-wicket hauls by an Indian in away Tests.
Both players have an impressive tally of 12 five-wicket hauls.
Jasprit reached the milestone in just 34 Test matches, whereas the former India World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev achieved it in 66 Test matches.
Following them on the list are Ishant Sharma with 9 fifers, Zaheer Khan with 8 fifers, and Irfan Pathan with 7 fifers.

Additionally, he set another record by becoming the first Asian player ever to have 150 wickets in South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia (SENA) nations.
This marks Bumrah's 10 five-wicket haul in SENA nations. Just one more five-wicket haul will see him equal Pakistan legend Wasim Akram, who has 11 SENA fifers.
