Jasprit Bumrah, India's premier fast bowler, has earned yet another honour - this time off the field. The 30-year-old pacer has donated the pair of bowling spikes he wore during his stellar five-wicket haul against England in the ongoing third Test at Lord's.

The shoes have now been added to the prestigious Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) Museum, one of the most iconic cricketing landmarks in the world.

Bumrah's donation comes following a fiery performance with the ball, where he dismantled the English batting order with precision and pace. His efforts were crucial in tilting the game in India's favour, as he dismissed some of England's top batters, including Harry Brook, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, and Chris Woakes. His second-innings burst, particularly with the second new ball, proved decisive in breaking England's resistance.

According to a report from PTI, while Bumrah chose to keep the match ball as a personal memento, he generously handed over his match-worn shoes to the MCC museum. The spikes are now displayed as a part of cricketing history, joining a gallery of memorabilia from legends of the game.

This five-wicket haul was Bumrah's second of the series, following his dominant outing at Headingley in the first Test. With this performance, he also surpassed the great Kapil Dev for the most five-wicket hauls by an Indian pacer in overseas Tests - a testament to Bumrah's consistency and impact in foreign conditions.

The museum, which also recently unveiled a portrait of Sachin Tendulkar ahead of the second Test, continues to celebrate Indian cricketing excellence on the global stage. Bumrah's contribution not only highlights his individual brilliance but also marks another moment of pride for Indian cricket at the "Home of Cricket."

From swinging yorkers to making history, Bumrah's journey continues to inspire. His spikes at Lord's will now stand as a reminder of his match-winning spells and ever-growing legacy in the longest format of the game.
