IND vs AUS T20 Schedule: Bumrah Nearing Major Milestone; Will Join Arshdeep in Exclusive Club

IND vs AUS T20 Schedule: Bumrah Nearing Major Milestone

Team India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, leveled the T20 series on November 2, making it 1-1. The opening match was abandoned due to rain, while Australia claimed victory in the second. With two games remaining, both sides have everything to play for.

Bumrah Chasing a Rare Record

India’s star pacer Jasprit Bumrah stands on the verge of a major achievement. With 98 wickets in T20 internationals, he shares the second spot among Indian bowlers with Hardik Pandya, who is currently sidelined due to injury. Arshdeep Singh leads with 104 wickets and remains the only Indian bowler to surpass the 100-wicket mark in T20Is.

If Bumrah picks up two more wickets, he will join Arshdeep in the exclusive 100-wicket club — a notable moment in his career.

Form and Impact in Recent Games

Bumrah played key roles in India’s successful T20 World Cup campaign. Despite his strong form, Arshdeep Singh has seen fewer opportunities under new coach Gautam Gambhir. However, Arshdeep impressed in the third T20I with a spell of 3 for 35, strongly making his case for a return to the playing XI.

Bumrah’s performances have been consistent — he finished with figures of 2 for 26 in the second T20I and 0 for 26 in the third, after missing out on bowling in the rained-out opener. His economical bowling has kept the run rate in check with a series economy of 6.5.

Looking Ahead

With the T20 World Cup just three months away, the combination of Bumrah and Arshdeep could become a major strength for India, especially in familiar home conditions.

Author’s Summary: Bumrah is just two wickets away from joining Arshdeep Singh in India’s 100-wicket T20I club, as both fast bowlers gear up to be key weapons ahead of the upcoming World Cup.
