IND vs ENG: During the ongoing fifth and final Test match between Team India and the host England cricket team, a wonderful thing happened on Saturday. At the end of the Indian innings on this second day of the match, captain Jasprit Bumrah batted aggressively and during this, England’s legendary bowler Stuart Broad smashed a record in one over. 35 runs came in this over, with which it became the most expensive over in Test cricket. Know here what Broad’s fellow bowler and England’s most successful bowler James Anderson had to say about this.

In that over of Stuart Broad, captain Jasprit Bumrah added 29 runs to create a world record for the most runs in an over. Broad gave a total of 35 runs in this over including extra. With this, the Indian team scored 416 runs before their first innings was reduced. James Anderson, who took 5 wickets in the same innings, defended this embarrassing performance from Broad.
James Anderson said, “On a normal day in a shot like this, the ball touches the bat and goes into the fielder’s hands and if that were the case, no one would have talked about this over. But the way it went, I liked it. Looks like it’s been quite unfortunate.”
