Starting the review. Updates to follow. Ktin (talk) 03:18, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria. Was nominated within 5 days of being promoted to GA. Meets length criteria. No issues with tone. No major concerns with sourcing. Earwig's throws a high score, but, that can be attributed to a couple of direct quotes. So, no major concern there. Nominator seems to have less than five DYK nominations and hence does not have a QPQ requirement.

ALT0: I am unable to access The Indian Express article. Seems to be throwing a paywall error for me. However, with the statement provided by the nominator Bumrah smashed two sixes and four fours to amass 29 runs with 6 runs added as extras and created a world record for scoring the most runs in an over in Test cricket., it seems like this one is correct. However, doing a couple of Google searches, it seems like Broad conceding 35 runs is definitely the highest in an over in test matches, but, can we confirm with other sources as well that Bumrah having scored 29 runs holds the record for the highest runs in an over in tests? Also, the article is from 2022. We should ensure that nothing has happened to break this record in the years since then.

ALT1: Validated by the statement from India Today. Important to note. Fastest indian pacer to get to 150 wickets. Would be good to wikilink pacer.

ALT2: Validated by the LiveMint article. Would be nice to wikilink some of the terms here.

Overall once we get clarity on ALT0, if we go with it, my preference would be ALT0 or ALT1 over ALT2.

Question for the nominator -- are there any other interesting facts other than stats oriented that you could find? Would be nice to give that a shot. Ktin (talk) 03:29, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Regarding the Indian Express article, you can view it using this archive link. For information on the most runs scored in an over, you can refer to this ESPNcricinfo page. It shows that the 35 runs scored by Bumrah against Broad is the highest, while the second highest is 28 runs scored by Lara against Peterson. Both 29 and 35 are higher than Lara's previous record. There are some other interesting facts.
