First the World Cup and now the historic ongoing series, there is something about Jasprit Bumrah and England that just clicks.
Though, to be fair, when you have worked hard enough to become the greatest of all time, everything clicks everywhere.

Becomes the quickest Indian pacer to reach the mark of 100 Test wickets. He bowled Pope out. #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/YvR7s3dC6T
We can discuss the technicalities of this later; right now, it’s time for us to celebrate our best as he becomes the fastest pacer from the country to claim 100 Test wickets.
As of now, this is how the tally looks:

This has proven to be another feather in the cap of the 27-year-old, who, at the moment, is both unstoppable and unplayable. Here’s how Twitter reacted to the news.
Take a bow @Jaspritbumrah93 ! That spell of 6.3.6.2 was outstanding and the spell of the summer so far. A class above any other fast bowler in this test match on a flat wicket ! Outstanding @SkyCricket 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
