Jasprit Bumrah On The Verge Of Achieving A Huge Record

Jasprit Bumrah is tantalizingly close to achieving a milestone that no Indian bowler has yet managed. Heading into the final T20I of the series, he needs just one more wicket to reach 100 T20I wickets — a landmark that would make him only the second Indian ever to hit that mark. At present, he has 99 wickets in T20 Internationals, taken over 79 matches and 77 innings, at an impressive average of 18.11. 

But the significance goes beyond just T20Is: if he succeeds, he will become the first Indian bowler to have 100 or more wickets in all three international formats — Tests, ODIs and T20Is. Achieving such all-format consistency would underscore his standing as one of India’s most complete and versatile pace bowlers in modern times.

Career Numbers Underlining the Moment

Bumrah’s statistics underline just how close he is to history. In T20Is, he has taken 99 wickets at an average of 18.11, with best bowling figures of 3 for 7. Meanwhile, his record in other formats is already well-established: over the course of his Test career, and in ODIs, he has accumulated a substantial number of wickets — making the feat of 100 across formats within sight. 

As of now, in the shortest format, he stands as the second-highest wicket-taker among Indian bowlers, trailing only Arshdeep Singh.    This puts additional pressure — and incentive — on the upcoming match, as the final T20I could rewrite not just Bumrah’s personal record book, but also set a new benchmark for Indian pace bowling across formats.

What the Final Match Could Represent

The upcoming match is more than just another T20I — it represents a crossroads. If Bumrah picks up that one elusive wicket, he won’t just hit a statistical milestone — he will make history by becoming the first Indian bowler ever to achieve the 100-wicket mark in Tests, ODIs, and T20Is combined. 

Such an accomplishment would reinforce his status as a rare all-format stalwart — someone whose skill and consistency translate across different types of cricket. For India, it would highlight the depth and versatility in pace bowling, and for fans, it would be another memorable milestone in the career of one of the country’s premier bowlers.
