IND vs AUS T20 Series Update
Team India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, leveled the series on November 2, making it 1-1. The first T20I was washed out due to rain, Australia won the second match, and the series remains open with two games left.
Jasprit Bumrah Approaches Key Milestone
India’s premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah is nearing a significant milestone. With 98 wickets in T20 internationals, he is tied for second among Indian bowlers alongside Hardik Pandya, who is currently sidelined with an injury. Arshdeep Singh leads with 104 wickets.
If Bumrah takes just two more wickets, he will join Arshdeep in the exclusive 100-wicket club for Indian T20I bowlers—a remarkable achievement.
Impact of Bumrah and Arshdeep on Team India
Both bowlers played crucial roles in India's T20 World Cup victory. Since Gautam Gambhir became coach, Arshdeep's opportunities have been limited, but he impressed with a 3/35 spell in the third T20I. There is hope he will feature in the final two matches.
Bumrah's performance has been steady, with figures of 2/26 in the second game and 0/26 in the third, and he did not bowl in the rain-affected first game. His economy rate for the series stands at 6.5, effectively keeping runs in check.
“Both Bumrah and Arshdeep were instrumental in helping India win the T20 World Cup.”
With the T20 World Cup three months away, the combination of Bumrah and Arshdeep could prove to be a powerful asset, especially in home conditions.
Summary: Jasprit Bumrah is close to joining Arshdeep Singh in the elite Indian T20I 100-wicket club, both remaining vital to India’s bowling strength ahead of the upcoming World Cup.
