Bumrah and Kumble stand together with 15 wickets each at the moment and in all likeliness, the prior will move ahead and become the sole leader of the chart. Ravichandran Ashwin who retired ahead of the match averages 32.57 for his 14 wickets which is the second most in the list tied with Kapil Dev.
