Bumrah’s 12th five-wicket haul exceptional in Indian Bowling performance
Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah delivered an impressive performance, securing his 12th five-wicket haul in the first innings against Australia today. With 17 wickets, he has firmly established himself as the leading wicket-taker in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. In the ongoing third Test match at the Gabba in Brisbane, he has set himself apart from the other Indian bowlers—Siraj, Akash Deep, and Jadeja—who have struggled with high economy rates and have failed to take key wickets. By the end of Day 2, Australia had confidently reached 405 runs for the loss of 7 wickets, propelled by centuries from Steve Smith (101 runs off 190 balls) and Travis Head (152 runs off 160 balls).
Test Cricket Stats of Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah is one of the leading Indian pacers in the current world cricket setup across all three formats of cricket. He has taken 190 wickets in 43 test matches with a best bowling figure of 6/27. His economy is remarkable at just 2.76 in test cricket and a bowling average of 19.82. Bumrah has taken 5 or more wickets for the 12th time in his test career. His bowling action, stump-to-stump attack and line length with a pace over 140 KMPH make him a special bowler and hard to play even for the best batsman in the the world. Hope for his consistent lethal bowling performance for India to secure a place in the finals of WTC 2024-25.
