The return of Indian team's star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has significantly strengthened Team India for the upcoming T20I series against Australia. Bumrah's absence was clearly felt by the team in the ODI series, where India suffered a 1-2 defeat.
Sports News: In the upcoming T20 International series between India and Australia (IND vs AUS T20 Series 2025), Team India's star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is on the verge of achieving a major record. In this five-match T20 series beginning against Australia, Bumrah has a golden opportunity to complete 100 wickets in T20 Internationals.
If he accomplishes this, he will not only become the first Indian bowler to achieve 100 wickets in all three formats (Tests, ODIs, and T20s) but also only the fifth bowler in the world to reach this milestone.
Just 4 Wickets Away from History
The 31-year-old Jasprit Bumrah has so far taken 96 wickets in 75 T20 International matches. He needs just 4 more wickets to reach his 100th wicket. He could achieve this milestone in the first T20 played against Australia in Canberra. If not, this historic moment might be witnessed in the second or third match.
Bumrah was rested during the ODI series, but his return for the T20 series significantly strengthens Team India's bowling attack.
Even before the first match of the series, fans and experts are highly excited about this potential achievement.
Bumrah's Golden Opportunity to Become the First Indian Bowler
If Jasprit Bumrah completes his 100 wickets in T20s, he will become the first Indian bowler to take at least 100 wickets in all three formats (Tests, ODIs, T20s). His career statistics so far are as follows:
- Test Matches: 50 matches, 226 wickets
- ODI Matches: 89 matches, 149 wickets
- T20 Matches: 75 matches, 96 wickets
This means Bumrah is now just 4 wickets away from a milestone that no Indian bowler has ever achieved in the history of Indian cricket. So far, only four bowlers in cricket history have taken 100 or more wickets in all three formats of International cricket —
- Lasith Malinga (Sri Lanka)
- Tim Southee (New Zealand)
- Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh)
- Shaheen Shah Afridi (Pakistan)
If Bumrah joins this list, he will be the fifth international bowler and the first Indian to achieve this extraordinary feat.
