Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah on Sunday completed 200 wickets in Test cricket, touching yet another shining milestone in his career.

He reached a glorious moment in his cricket career on the fourth day of the ongoing Test match against Australia.

Bumrah completed picking up the 200th wicket of his career when he dismissed Australian batsman Travis Head on Day 4 of the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday.

With an average of 19.5 in Test cricket, he is ahead of legends like Malcolm Marshall (20.9), Joel Garner (21.0), and Curtly Ambrose (21.0).

Bumrah touched a 200-wicket landmark while playing his 44th Test match.

In terms of balls bowled, Bumran reached the mark by bowling 8484th legal delivery in Test cricket, the fastest among Indians.

Internationally, he is just behind Waqar Younis (7725 balls), Dale Steyn (7848 balls), and Kagiso Rabada (8154 balls) in the elite list.

He also became the first bowler in the world to take 200 Test wickets with a sub-20 average.

India and Australia are fighting to take lead in the series which is evenly balanced at 1-1.

India won the first Test match of the series under Bumrah's leadership.

He was serving as the temporary skipper in Rohit Sharma's absence in the first Test.
