Brisbane, Australia — Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is on the cusp of etching his name into the record books, standing just one wicket away from achieving a feat no Indian bowler has managed before: completing 100 wickets across all three formats of international cricket (Tests, ODIs, and T20Is).
The high-stakes final T20 International against Australia in Brisbane will not just decide the outcome of the closely fought series, but also serve as the stage for Bumrah’s potential landmark moment. India currently leads the five-match series 2-1.
Bumrah has been a pillar of the Indian bowling attack since his debut, and this milestone would further cement his legacy as one of the country’s all-time greatest fast bowlers. The pacer enters the final match with an impressive tally of 99 wickets from 79 T20Is. While he is already a prolific wicket-taker in the longer formats, achieving 100 T20I scalps would unlock a unique triple century club for him in Indian cricket.
He already boasts 226 wickets in Tests and 149 wickets in One Day Internationals (ODIs). By adding his 100th T20I wicket, Bumrah would become the first-ever Indian to reach the triple-digit mark in all three formats, highlighting his versatility and sustained excellence across different conditions and eras.
As the Men in Blue aim to close out the series, all eyes will be on Bumrah as he chases this historic personal achievement, bringing a rare combination of pressure and anticipation to the series finale.
