On the fourth day of the fourth Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy being played between India and Australia in Melbourne, he completed his 200 wickets in the Test. He made Australia's ace batsman Travis Head his 200th victim in Test cricket. Not only this, former Australian cricketer and commentator Simon Katich was also seen praising Bumrah at Head's wicket and he even called the Indian legend 'King'.

India and Australia are fighting at the Melbourne Cricket Ground with the intention of taking the lead in the series. Head, who was the most dangerous batsman for India in the series, was dismissed cheaply by Bumrah in the second innings of the Melbourne Test as well. After this, Simon Katich, who was doing the commentary, even called Bumrah 'king'.

Generally Virat Kohli is called the King of Cricket or 'King Kohli' but Katich used these words for Bumrah. As soon as Head's wicket fell, he said, 'It is official, King Bumrah. 'Boxing Day nightmare continues for Travis Head'.

While Bumrah had bowled Head for 0 in the first innings of the fourth Test, Head could score only 1 run in the second innings. Nitish Kumar Reddy took a head catch on Bumrah's ball.
