The Mumbai Indians veteran, who is leading India in the last Test match took on Broad and showed no mercy on him. Stuart Broad could have had a sensation that this had happened before his 2007 T20I World Cup over to Yuvraj Singh as Bumrah smacked him for four boundaries and two sixes in an over.

The English pacer surrendered 35 runs, which made him the only bowler to yield costly overs both in T20I and Test cricket.

The right-arm seamer arrived at the milestone on Day 4 of the continuous fifth Test against England at Edgbaston.

Bumrah is only the 6th Indian to reach the 100-wicket mark in these nations.

Curiously, Bumrah has only 14 Test wickets at home.
