Broad may have 550 wickets in the longest format of the game, but on Saturday, the veteran bowler bowled the most expensive over in Test cricket history, conceding 35 runs in the 84th over of the innings. Broad chose to bowl short deliveries, and Jasprit Bumrah, making his captaincy debut, kept slogging, resulting in more boundaries. As Bumrah continued to smash Broad, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja couldn’t stop laughing in the Indian dressing room.
ENG vs IND: Bumrah brings on the madness
Broad’s first ball of his over was hit for a four. The second went for five wides, prompting the delivery to be repeated. Then came a no-ball, which was hit for a six. The following three deliveries were sent to the boundary for a total of four. Bumrah hit a six on the fifth bowl before finishing the over with a single.
It is worth noting that Stuart Broad has the most expensive T20I over, having been smashed for six sixes by Yuvraj Singh in the 2007 T20 World Cup. Prior to Broad, the most expensive over in Test cricket had been bowled by Robin Peterson (South Africa), James Anderson (England), and Joe Root (England), all of whom had conceded 28 runs. Peterson gave up this many runs against the West Indies in 2003, with Brian Lara taking him to task, whereas Anderson gave up 28 against Australia’s George Bailey in 2013. Root gave up 28 runs against South Africa, with 24 of them coming off the bat of Keshav Maharaj. Stay tuned for our 100% FREE betting tips and match guides from our professional betting tipsters.
In reply, England have been reduced to 31/2 before the rain gods appeared for the second time today. Coincidentally, Bumrah took the first wicket of the English opener, Alex Lees, with a fuller delivery that penetrated through his defenses and knocked the stumps off. He then dismissed Zack Crawley with an outswinger.
