Jasprit Bumrah Achieves 400 International Wickets: A Testament to His Bowling Prowess
In a remarkable display of skill, Jasprit Bumrah, India’s leading fast bowler, reached a significant career milestone by claiming his 400th international wicket during the first Test match against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. This achievement not only highlights his exceptional talent but also cements his status as one of the premier bowlers in contemporary cricket.
Praise from Cricketing Legends
Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar lauded Bumrah’s performance, describing him as a ”bowler without a weakness.” During an analysis on ESPNcricinfo, Manjrekar emphasized Bumrah’s comprehensive skill set and astute cricketing intellect. He remarked on how Bumrah’s strategic approach and ability to adapt to various conditions make him stand out among fast bowlers.
Manjrekar noted, “We are all aware of his variations and sharp thinking—he is undoubtedly one of the most intelligent fast bowlers we have seen. His aggressive bowling style was evident when he faced Taskin Ahmed. What truly stands out is that he remains effective regardless of opposition or pitch conditions; this is indeed a hallmark of greatness.”
Milestone Wicket Against Bangladesh
Bumrah achieved this landmark by dismissing Mushfiqur Rahim from Bangladesh, marking him as the sixth Indian pacer to reach this impressive tally and placing him among the top ten Indian bowlers overall in terms of wickets taken internationally.
Throughout his career thus far, which spans 196 international matches, Bumrah has amassed an impressive total of 401 wickets with an average of just 21.01 runs per wicket. His statistics include 163 wickets from 37 Test matches, alongside contributions in One Day Internationals (ODIs) with 149 wickets across 89 games and another notable tally of 89 wickets in T20 internationals.
A Bright Future Ahead
At just 30 years old, Jasprit Bumrah stands shoulder-to-shoulder with some legendary figures in Indian cricket history such as Anil Kumble, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Harbhajan Singh. Given his consistent performances over recent years coupled with his unique bowling style that blends pace with precision—Bumrah is poised to leave an indelible mark on Indian cricket for years to come.
As he continues to evolve as a player while breaking records along the way, fans eagerly anticipate what more this extraordinary bowler will achieve both for himself and for India on the global stage.
