    Bumrah traps Khawaja for sixth time in BGT 2024-25: Stats

    What's the story

    Indian captain and fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, dealt a body blow to Australia on Day 1 of the fifth Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

    Bumrah dismissed Australian opener Usman Khawaja for 2, his sixth dismissal of the opener across eight innings in this series.

    The wicket fell on the last ball of the third over of Australia's first innings when Khawaja was caught by KL Rahul in slips.

    Dominance 

    Bumrah's dominance over Khawaja in the series 

    Bumrah's dismissal of Khawaja wasn't a one-off but a pattern in this series.

    Across eight innings, Bumrah has bowled 112 deliveries to Khawaja, giving away just 33 runs and taking his wicket six times, as per ESPNcricinfo.

    The only exception was in the fourth innings of the first Test in Perth and third innings of the fourth Test in Melbourne.

    Mohammed Siraj trapped the southpaw in these two outings.

    Bumrah joins Chris Woakes 

    Notably, Bumrah could not trap Khawaja even once across seven Test innings prior to this series.

    The pacer now owns the joint-second-most dismissals against the Aussie opener in Test cricket.

    He joined former England's Chris Woakes in this regard.

    Woakes's former England teammate Stuart Broad (8 times) is now the only one to dismiss Khawaja more times than Bumrah.

    Record 

    Bumrah matches Jadeja's record 

    As per Cricbuzz, Bumrah became just the second Indian bowler to dismiss a batter six times in a bilateral Test series. He has joined Ravindra Jadeja, who trapped former England captain Alastair Cook as many times in the 2016 home series.
