Cricket News: Stuart Broad bowls the most expensive over in Test cricket

29 of these 35 runs came from the bat of skipper Jasprit Bumrah in four boundaries and two sixes. With these figures, he went past Brian Liara, who hammered 28 runs against Robin John Peterson in 2003. That was the most expensive until Bumrah played such swashbuckling over Stuart Broad.

To which mockingly, Robi Peterson reacted and tweeted, "Sad to lose my record today oh well, records are made to be broken I guess. Onto the next one #ENGvIND".

Interestingly, Stuart Broad holds the same record in T20Is alongside Akila Dananjaya with 36 runs in an over. Coincidentally, both these nightmares for Broad came against the Indians. 4 5WD 6NB 4 4 4 6!! What a destructive batting from an Indian pacer against one of the greats of test cricket.

Jasprit Bumrah was appointed as the captain of the Indian test team after Rohit Sharma tested positive for COVID-19. Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja recovered the first innings after a batting collapse with their centuries. Jasprit Bumrah made his captaincy debut more special with his unbeaten knock of 31 in just 16 balls which included four fours and two sixes. English pacers continuously bowled short balls against Indian batters, which proved expensive. After Shami was dismissed for 16, the Indian skipper walked out to the middle and returned the favour of aggression he had been getting from the English team since the press conference. In the 84th over, Bumrah scored 29 runs. In the next over, James Anderson got the wicket of Mohammad Siraj, leaving Bumrah unbeaten at 31(16). Jasprit Bumrah even gave an early breakthrough for India by dismissing English opener Alex Lees for a low score.

So far, Jasprit Bumrah's dream starts with his captaincy debut in the rescheduled test against England.
