India were playing England in Oval for the 4th Test match of the series when Bumrah achieved this record. India won the match to lead the series 2-1 and thus eliminating their chance of losing this Test series in England.

- Jasprit Bumrah – 24
- Kapil Dev – 25
- Irfan Pathan – 28
- Mohammed Shami – 29
Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is the fastest Indian bowler to take 100 Test wickets. He achieved the feat in just 18 games during the West Indies tour of India in 2013.
