SPORTS NEWS: The thrilling five-match T20 series currently underway between India and Australia has now reached a decisive stage.

The fourth T20 match will be played on November 6 at Carrara Oval Stadium in Queensland, where Team India's fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah (Jasprit Bumrah) will have a golden opportunity to create history.
Bumrah is now just 2 wickets away from completing 100 wickets in his T20 International career. If he takes two wickets in this match, he will become the first Indian bowler to achieve this milestone, having 100 or more wickets registered across all three formats (Test, ODI, T20).
Bumrah Just Two Steps Away From Completing 100 T20I Wickets
Jasprit Bumrah has so far taken 98 wickets in 78 T20 International matches in his career. His average stands at 18.02 and economy rate at 6.55, which places him among the most economical bowlers in the world. In the ongoing series against Australia, Bumrah has taken 2 wickets so far. Although he did not find success in the previous match, he will come out with full force in the fourth encounter. With two wickets in this match, he will reach the 100-wicket mark and create a unique record in Indian cricket history.
If Jasprit Bumrah succeeds in taking 100 T20 International wickets, he will be the first Indian bowler to have 100 or more wickets registered across all three international formats. Currently, Bumrah has:
- In Test cricket: 159 wickets
- In ODI cricket: 149 wickets
- In T20 International: 98 wickets
Thus, he will soon become the first Indian bowler to register the triple record of 100-100 wickets to his name.
Second Indian After Arshdeep Singh Nearing 100 T20I Wickets
In T20 Internationals, Arshdeep Singh has been the only Indian bowler to cross the 100-wicket mark so far. Now, Jasprit Bumrah is just two steps away from becoming the second Indian player to join this list. Throughout his career, Bumrah has consistently demonstrated his ability to take wickets in any situation, bowling with fitness and control.
Jasprit Bumrah has played 17 T20 International matches against Australia so far, claiming 19 wickets at an average of 24. Australian batsmen have always found it difficult to score runs against him. Now, in the fourth T20 at Carrara Oval, Bumrah has another big record within his grasp — if he takes just one more wicket, he will become the highest wicket-taker in T20 Internationals against Australia. In doing so, he will surpass Pakistan's former off-spinner Saeed Ajmal (Saeed Ajmal).
