Jasprit Bumrah became the 10th Indian bowler to reach the 400-wicket milestone for the country during the first Test of the two-match series between India and Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday.

Bumrah hence is the sixth Indian pacer to reach the milestone and is in fact the fifth-fastest among Indian bowlers to do so.
