In a thrilling cricket match, India found themselves in a precarious position with a score of 377-9 at the beginning of the 84th over. The regular captain, Rohit Sharma, was unable to participate due to his unfortunate battle with COVID-19. Stepping into his shoes was the talented tailender, Jasprit Bumrah, who was captaining the team for the very first time.

The over commenced with great excitement as the opposing bowler, Stuart Broad, delivered a fiery bouncer. Bumrah, displaying his determination, attempted a hook shot and managed to connect, albeit with a top edge. The ball sailed over the wicketkeeper, Sam Billings, resulting in five wides. This unexpected boost gave India a much-needed advantage.

Undeterred by the previous stroke, Bumrah continued his aggressive approach. Another top-edged shot from him sailed over the boundary ropes, earning his team six runs. However, there was a twist in the tale as the delivery was deemed a no-ball. As per the rules, a no-ball hit for six results in seven runs being awarded to the batting side. The crowd erupted with excitement as India’s score surged ahead.

Broad, feeling the pressure, delivered a full toss that bordered on being called a no-ball due to its excessive height. Bumrah seized the opportunity and smashed the ball through the mid-on region for an emphatic four runs. The spectators were on the edge of their seats as India’s total climbed past the significant 400-mark.

The tailender wasn’t finished yet. With determination in his eyes, Bumrah executed another stroke, resulting in an edged four to the fine leg area. The crowd cheered, appreciating his grit and the valuable runs he was accumulating. India’s batting display was gradually turning the tide in their favor.

Amidst the frenzy, Bumrah unleashed a mighty blow that shattered the record for the most runs scored in a single over of a Test match. He connected brilliantly with a hook shot, and the ball sailed over deep backward square leg for a magnificent six. The spectators were witnessing an extraordinary display of skill and power from the unlikely hero, Bumrah.

As the over neared its conclusion, Broad had a chance to redeem himself by running out Mohammad Siraj. However, the fielding attempt went awry, and Siraj managed to complete a scrambled single. The over ended with a sense of exhilaration and relief for India, who had managed to extract 26 runs from Stuart Broad’s eventful over.

It was a poignant moment for Broad, who had endured a similar ordeal at the hands of an Indian batsman in the past. In the 2007 T20 World Cup, Yuvraj Singh had etched his name in cricketing folklore by hitting Broad for six sixes in a single over. The memory of that brutal assault must have resurfaced in Broad’s mind as he witnessed Bumrah’s onslaught.
