India vs South Africa: In the first Test against India, South Africa's first innings was reduced to just 159 runs. India's star bowler Jasprit Bumrah had the biggest role in not allowing South Africa to score even 200 runs. Bumrah single-handedly hunted down half of the South African team. He took 5 out of 10 wickets on his own. And, while doing so, also created some unique records.

Did this for the first time at Eden Gardens

Bumrah has achieved the feat of taking 5 wickets in an innings for the 16th time in his Test career.

But, this time his doing so is a bit special. A big reason for this is Eden Gardens, on which he has achieved this feat while playing the first Test of his career. That is, it would not be wrong to say that Bumrah has achieved the feat of taking 5 or more wickets for the first time at Eden Gardens.

Made this record against SENA countries

Bumrah may have taken 5 plus wickets in an innings for the 16th time in his career. But, out of these, he has done these feats 13 times against SENA countries, which is a record. Till now no Asian bowler has taken 5 plus SENA so many times in the countries.

In this matter, Bumrah has broken the record of Wasim Akram, who has taken 5 plus wickets 12 times.
