Broad conceded 35 runs in that over which broke the record of most expensive over in Test match cricket. Bumrah smoked 3 boundaries and 2 maximums in that over against Broad. Former India captain Virat Kohli was seen enjoying the Bumrah show as the fast-bowler was taking out all his fire on Broad. After India's innings, Kohli even side-hugged Bumrah with smile and laugh showing the pacer he was happy with his knock.
India were in a good position when Bumrah walked in as the last wicket. In the 84th over, Broad conceded 35 runs which is the highest conceded in a Test match out of 29 runs were off Jasprit Bumrah's bat. Bumrah's quick-fire innings of with the bat took India past the 400-run mark and finished them with appreciable total of 416 after the innings. However, a few moments earlier Broad took his 550th Test wicket.
The first ball was hit for a four after a 5 extra runs (5 wides) were gifted by Broad. Following up with a no ball which was smacked a six, Bumrah somehow managed to scored three boundaries in a row after all that. The fifth ball was again sent over the rope via a leading edge to Broad's pace and the Indian captain took a single in the last ball to complete the over for 35 runs.
