Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah etched his name into cricket’s elite with a landmark achievement on December 9, 2025. At the first T20 International against South Africa national cricket team in Cuttack, he claimed the wicket of Dewald Brevis —1 his 100th in T20Is — becoming the first Indian bowler ever to reach the 100-wicket milestone in Tests, ODIs and T20Is.
Bumrah’s journey to this rare triple-century mark underscores his versatility and longevity. Prior to this, he had already amassed a formidable haul across formats: over 230 wickets in Tests and nearly 150 in ODIs.
In the game at Barabati Stadium, Bumrah struck with precision — removing Brevis for 22 and later dismissing Keshav Maharaj in the same over — cementing India’s grip on the match and rewriting record books simultaneously.
That his name now sits alongside the legends of world cricket — joining the likes of Lasith Malinga, Tim Southee, Shakib Al Hasan and Shaheen Shah Afridi — speaks to Bumrah’s consistency, skill, and adaptability across diverse formats and conditions.
For Indian cricket, this is more than a personal milestone — it’s a statement of enduring excellence and a reminder of the high standard of pace bowling the nation currently boasts.
