Jasprit Bumrah Scripts History With This Remarkable Feat

Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah etched his name in cricketing history on 9 December 2025, becoming the first Indian bowler ever to take 100 wickets in all three international formats—Tests, ODIs, and T20Is. The milestone was reached during the 1st T20I against South Africa at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack, marking yet another peak in Bumrah’s remarkable career.

This achievement places him among the top five bowlers in world cricket, joining legends like Tim Southee, Lasith Malinga, Shakib Al Hasan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi.

How Bumrah Reached the Historic Milestone

Bumrah’s landmark moment came when he dismissed Dewald Brevis for 22 in his third over, completing his 100th T20I wicket. He later removed Keshav Maharaj, finishing with a sharp spell that demonstrated his trademark precision and control.

Career Tally After the Match

• Tests: 234 wickets in 52 matches
• ODIs: 149 wickets in 89 matches
• T20Is: 101 wickets in 81 matches

His outstanding consistency across formats underlines why he is considered one of the most complete modern fast bowlers.

Significance of the Achievement

Bumrah’s feat is rare not only in Indian cricket but globally. Achieving 100 wickets in each format requires,

• Longevity and fitness
• Adaptability across formats
• Mastery of diverse conditions
• Technical evolution to excel in Test, ODI, and T20 cricket

His late-overs precision, unorthodox action, and unmatched ability to deliver yorkers under pressure make him one of the sport’s finest pacers.
