Jasprit Bumrah sets world record by smashing 35 runs in one over from Stuart Broad

Jasprit Bumrah set a Test world record after smashing 35 runs in a single over from Stuart Broad at Edgbaston.

The India skipper came to the crease with his side in a commanding position following centuries from middle-order batsmen Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja.

Bumrah’s extraordinary effort broke the 28 runs taken off a James Anderson over in 2013 when George Bailey hit him for two sixes at Perth.

Brian Lara, meanwhile, also smashed 28 runs off a Robin Pieterson over in 2003.

India’s innings finally ended when Siraj skied Anderson to Broad at mid-off but the damage had
