London, July 12, 2025 β Indian cricket star Jasprit Bumrah has etched his name into the legendary Lord’s Honours Board after a stunning performance in the third Test against England. On the second day of the match, which began on July 10, Bumrah took 5 wickets for 74 runs, becoming the 15th Indian bowler to achieve this feat at the iconic venue.
The Lord’s Honours Board is a big deal in cricket. It lists players who have scored a century or taken five wickets in a Test match at this ground. According to Wikipedia, as of August 2024, only 135 players have managed 194 five-wicket hauls here. Bumrahβs effort adds to this exclusive list, showing his skill on a pitch that has been tricky for bowlers. The Times of India reported that Bumrah waited until the last wicket fell before celebrating, proving his focus and discipline.
Bumrahβs figures stand out when compared to past performances at Lord’s. In 2021, New Zealandβs T.G. Southee took 6 wickets for 43 runs, while South Africaβs K.S. Rabada managed 5 for 52 in 2022. Cricketcountry.com noted that Bumrahβs fifer on July 11 helped restrict England after they started the day at 251 for 4. This shows how he can handle pressure, even on a slow pitch, as mentioned by Cricbuzz.
The BCCI shared pictures of Bumrah receiving a signed pair of shoes for the Lord’s museum, marking his special day. Fans on X praised his effort, with Star Sports calling him “The Special One.” His 15th five-wicket haul in Test cricket highlights his growing reputation as one of Indiaβs best bowlers.
As the Test continues, all eyes will be on Bumrah to see if he can add more to his tally. For now, his name on the Honours Board is a moment of pride for Indian cricket.
