Jasprit Bumrah added feather to his hat as the India pacer went on level with legendary Kapil Dev for most five-wicket hauls in Tests in away conditions on Sunday. Bumrah achieved the feat during England's first innings in Leeds as his 5/83 restricted England to 465 all out, thus giving India a slender six-run lead. 

Leading the Indian pacer attack, Bumrah had taken the first three England wickets on Day 2. However, it was more of Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj on the third day who took five wickets among them. 

Bumrah's last two wickets came towards the end of English innings, dismissing Chris Woakes and Josh Tongue to achieve the feat. With this five-wicket haul, Bumrah went atop the leaderboard for most Test fifers in away games, on level with legendary Kapil Dev. 

Both Bumrah and Kapil sit on 12 five-wicket hauls each on overseas conditions, followed by Anil Kumble (10), Ishant Sharma (9), Zaheer Khan (8) and Irfan Pathan (7).
