With his `slingshot` delivery and ability to unsettle the world`s best batsmen, India`s Jasprit Bumrah is widely regarded as one of cricket`s greatest fast bowlers. The 31-year-old has defied career-threatening back problems and on Wednesday overtook Kapil Dev to become India`s leading Test wicket-taker in Australia.
Bumrah, India`s player of the series so far, took nine wickets in the third Test at Brisbane to move to 53 in Australia and past Dev`s previous mark of 51. He was player of the match in India`s 295-run victory in Perth in the opening Test, before the hosts levelled the series in Adelaide. He is the leading bowler on either side with 21 wickets in the series so far at a scarcely believable average of 10.90.
