Mumbai: Indian pace-master, Jasprit Bumrah, recorded his first hat-trick in his international career on day two of the second Test of the two-match series between India and West Indies. This hat-trick made him just the third Indian to achieve this feat.
Previously, only Harbhajan Singh in 2001 and Irfan Pathan in 2006 were the ones to hold this distinguished record. Jasprit Bumrah has already proved his worth in ODIs and T20Is for India. Now, he is on his way of achieving invincibility in Test cricket as well.
Have a look at all the three hat-tricks claimed by Indian bowlers in Tests
