Bumrah dismissed Brook to attain 150 ODI wickets [Source: AFP]For the first time in 968 days, Jasprit Bumrah was included in India’s ODI playing XI as the Men in Blue took on the hosts, England, in the first game of the series at Edgbaston. Since the heartbreaking 2023 World Cup final, Bumrah has not featured in ODIs as India has used him in Tests and the T20I format.The right-arm pacer certainly has an aura, and opting to bat first, the England openers were careful against Bumrah in his initial few overs. Their plan was simple: Play the Indian seamer carefully and target the other bowlers.However, you cannot keep a champion bowler down as Bumrah, after an underwhelming first spell, roared back to dismiss English captain Harry Brook and entered history books with his 150th ODI scalp.Bumrah surpasses Ravindra Jadeja to become the greatest ODI bowler in EnglandBumrah bowled a short-of-a-length ball as Brook gave a tentative poke and the outside-edge was taken by the fielder at first slip. This was the Indian pacer’s 150th wicket in this format, and in the process, he surpassed Ravindra Jadeja to create history.Before the first ODI, both Bumrah and Jadeja had 30 ODI wickets each in England, but with Brook’s dismissal, the 32-year-old seamer achieved his 31st scalp and surpassed Jadeja to become the best Indian bowler in England.Most ODIs wickets for India in England31 Jasprit Bumrah*30 Ravindra Jadeja28 Bhuvneshwar Kumar27 Madan Lal26 Mohammed ShamiAlso Read: Jasprit Bumrah Drops Big Hint On His Availability For IND Vs SL TestsBhuvneshwar Kumar occupies the third spot with 28 wickets, and the 1983 World Cup winner, Madan Lal sits at fourth place with 27 wickets, followed by Mohammed Shami at 26.Other ODI records attained by Bumrah after Brook's wicketFastest to 150 ODI wickets for India (in terms of balls)4,070 – Mohammed Shami4,513 – Kuldeep Yadav4,605 – Jasprit Bumrah*5,027 – Ajit Agarkar5,131 – Irfan Pathan(In terms of balls, Bumrah sits at third place, while the top spot has been occupied by Mohammed Shami, who picked up 150 wickets in just 4,070 balls, while Kuldeep Yadav sits at the second place, and has registered the same number of wickets in 4,513 balls).Players to reach 200 Tests, 150 ODI, and 100 T20I wicketsShakib Al HasanTim SoutheeJasprit Bumrah* (234 Test wickets, 150 ODI wickets, 121 T20I wickets)Jasprit Bumrah's ODI record in EnglandThe Indian pacer boasts a stellar ODI record in England, as he has performed the European nation in both bilateral matches and also in the World Cup.The 32-year-old bowler has played 17 ODI matches in England, and has bagged 31 wickets, with an average of 21.41 and an economy rate of 4.44.In fact, his best ODI figures occurred on English shores, when the right-arm bowler destroyed the England batters during the 2022 ODI match, and he scalped 6/19 to help India win the match.The fast bowler also played his maiden ODI World Cup in England (2019), and he picked up 18 wickets to help India reach the semifinal.Also Read: BCCI Take A Final Call On Gautam Gambhir Amid Support Staff Falling Apart
