Bumrah, Reddy join MCG Honors Board after stellar performances

What's the story

The iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) has honored the extraordinary feats of Indian players Jasprit Bumrah and Nitish Kumar Reddy.

Bumrah and Reddy starred for India in the recently-concluded Boxing Day Test, albeit in a losing cause, which added their names to the Honors Board.

Vice-captain Bumrah made it to the board with a stunning five-wicket haul, while Reddy slammed an incredible century in the first innings.

Career achievement

Bumrah's milestone of 200 Test wickets

Besides taking nine wickets in the match, Bumrah also reached the milestone of 200 Test wickets, reaching the feat with the lowest bowling average of all time.

He became the first-ever bowler to take 200 Test wickets while averaging below 20. He also became the fastest Indian pacer to this mark.

Bumrah's performance proved instrumental in restricting the Australians across the two innings.

Maiden century

Reddy's maiden Test century earns MCG recognition

Along with Bumrah, young cricketer Nitish Kumar Reddy also made it to the Honors Board. He slammed his maiden Test century, lifting India from a spot of bother in the first innings.

Not only did this mark a personal milestone for Reddy, but it also helped India avoid the follow-on.

This made him the third-youngest Indian to score a maiden Test century Down Under.
