Southampton: The third day of the ICC World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand is underway in Southampton on Sunday. Team India’s first innings was all out for 217 runs. Ajinkya Rahane (49) was the best scorer for the Indian team. At the same time, Kyle Jameson was the most successful bowler for New Zealand. The 26-year-old fast bowler took five wickets for 31 runs in 22 overs including 12 maidens.

There were only two half-century partnerships from the Indian team. First openers Rohit Sharma (34) and Shubman Gill (28) shared a 62-run partnership for the first wicket. After this, Indian captain Virat Kohli (44) and Ajinkya Rahane (49) shared a 61-run partnership for the fourth wicket. The way the Indian team started, it was thought that they would score around 300, but it did not happen.

Virat Kohli got the biggest blow from the player of his team, who created history in the WTC final. This player is none other than fast bowler Kyle Jameson. Remember that in the IPL, New Zealand fast bowler Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers play from Bangalore. RCB had bought the 6 feet 8 inch height bowler in the IPL auction for Rs 15 crore.

Jameson made history

Jameson, a member of Kohli’s team, took five wickets in the first innings against India. The right-arm fast bowler made Rohit Sharma (34), captain Virat Kohli (44), Rishabh Pant (4), Ishant Sharma (4) and Jasprit Bumrah (0) their prey. With this, Kyle Jameson made history in the WTC Finals. He has reached the top of the list of most five-wicket hauls in an innings in this championship.

With this, Jameson also became the first bowler to take five wickets in an innings in the World Test Championship final. Jameson played only 8 Tests in his career and took five wickets in an innings for the fifth time.

Kyle Jameson surpassed Ravichandran Ashwin, Nathan Lyon and Axar Patel for the most number of wickets in an innings at the World Test Championship. These three bowlers have done wonders in WTC taking five or more wickets in an innings four times. Jameson has played only 7 Tests in the WTC and holds this record.
