Something to tell my son: Bumrah reflects on Lord's five-wicket haul
The Statesman Siliguri
|July 13, 2025
India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah etched his name on the iconic Lord's Honours Board after picking a brilliant five-wicket haul on Day 2 of the third Test against England, a feat he says will be a proud memory to share with his son one day.
The 31-year-old was at his clinical best, finishing with figures of 5 for 74 as England were bowled out for 387. It marked Bumrah's 15th five-wicket haul in Tests, surpassing Kapil Dev's record of most overseas five-fors by an Indian bowler, but his muted reaction after claiming his fifth wicket sparked as much intrigue as his performance commanded admiration.
Reflecting on the achievement, Bumrah said, "The name on the Honours Board feels good. It is something I can tell my son about when he is grown up."
Although visibly fatigued after a taxing spell in the heat, Bumrah said the moment was worth every drop of effort.
"Reality is, I was tired. I can't jump around like a 21-year-old. I was happy that I contributed. Other than that, I just wanted to go back to my mark and bowl the next ball," he added with a smile.

Awaiting the grand finale
It is interesting for me to observe how conversation topics with my friends have evolved with our age. Before we reached retirement age our discussions focused on women/relationships, travelling to exotic places, our professional activities, children's future, debates about Obama's birthplace, sports, movies etc. In more recent years, the focus has shifted to health issues, social security benefits, reminiscing about life, existence of God, financial planning in old age and so on.
