Jasprit Bumrah breathed fire on Thursday during the second and final Test match against South Africa at Newlands, Cape Town.

The right-arm pacer returned figures of 6 for 61 in 13.5 overs, helping India bundle out the Proteas for 176 in their second innings.

India went on to win the game by 7 wickets. Bumrah's heroic show helped him surpass Australia's spin great Shane Warne and become the visiting bowler with the second-highest number of wickets in Test matches in Cape Town.

Bumrah now has 18 wickets to his name, one more than that of leg-spin legend Warne, in Test matches at the venue. Former England spinner Colin Blythe is the visiting bowler in South Africa with highest -- 25 -- number of wickets to his name in Test matches in Cape Town.
