His legend keeps on growing as Jasprit Bumrah completed a new landmark on Wednesday.

India's vice captain went past the great Kapil Dev to record most Test wickets by an Indian in Australia.

On Day 5 of the 3rd Test at the Gabba in Brisbane, Bumrah shook up Australia's top order early after lunch to carve his name in the annals of Indian cricket history.

Bumrah had Usman Khawaja bowled for 8 in the 3rd over to go level with Kapil picking his 51st wicket on Australian soil.

Three overs later he had Marnus Labuschagne caught behind for 1 to take his 52nd Test scalp to become India's highest wicket-taker in Australia.
