Indian tail-ender Jasprit Bumrah on July 2 made a world record, as he scored the highest amount of runs of an over in Test cricket during the team’s bout against England at the Edgbaston stadium in the UK’s Birmingham.
With Bumrah, a number-10 batter on the strike, England’s top pacer Stuart Broad ended up conceding 35 runs of his over.
Of these 35 runs, Bumrah scored 29 with the bat, whereas, six runs came in the form of extras.The previous record for scoring most runs in an over in Test cricket was held by West Indies legend Brian Lara, who had bagged 28 runs off an over bowled by South African spinner Robin Pieterson in 2003.
