Test Cricket Most Expensive Over: Test cricket is played with great pause. This format really ‘tests’ the players. In a game lasting five days, batsmen try to maintain their position at the crease along with scoring runs, because along with runs, time is also important. But when we look at the most expensive over in Test cricket, Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is seen as the batsman.
Bumrah holds the record for scoring the most runs in one over in Test cricket. 4 years ago, on this day i.e. 2nd July, he had made the record of scoring the most runs in an over of Test cricket against former England fast bowler Stuart Broad.
In the first session of the second day of the match played at Edgebest in Birmingham, Bumrah took on Stuart Broad when Team India had lost 9 wickets. Bumrah took 35 runs in Broad’s over. With this it became the most expensive over in the history of Test cricket.
