India’s ace bowler Jasprit Bumrah created history on December 9, 2025. In the first T20 International against South Africa at Cuttack, he took his 100th wicket in T20Is. The key scalp was South African batter Dewald Brevis. In the same over, he also dismissed Keshav Maharaj. This brought his T20I tally to 101 wickets in 81 matches.
With this, Bumrah became the first Indian bowler to take 100 wickets in all three formats of international cricket. He had already taken 234 wickets in Tests and 149 in ODIs. His achievement places him among an elite group globally. Only Lasith Malinga, Tim Southee, Shakib Al Hasan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi have managed this feat before him.
Bumrah’s journey is a story of skill, consistency, and hard work. Known for his unusual action and deadly yorkers, he has troubled top batsmen worldwide. His T20I bowling average hovers around 18, and his economy rate is under 7, showing his ability to take wickets while keeping runs low.
Teammates and fans celebrated his milestone. Many called him India’s most reliable bowler in modern cricket. Even in high-pressure situations, Bumrah delivers crucial breakthroughs. His ability to adapt across formats makes him a rare talent in world cricket.
Apart from records, Bumrah’s calm demeanor and dedication stand out. He focuses on team goals rather than personal milestones. But cricket lovers and experts often recognize him as a game-changer.
This milestone also highlights India’s growing strength in pace bowling. Bumrah continues to lead a strong bowling lineup alongside younger bowlers like Arshdeep Singh. His record inspires the next generation of cricketers aiming to perform across formats.
As India looks ahead to more international fixtures, Bumrah’s consistency will remain vital. His 100-wicket achievement is not just numbers. It is a celebration of perseverance, precision, and excellence.
Jasprit Bumrah has set a high benchmark. His journey reminds cricket fans why he is among the best bowlers in the world.
