Jasprit Bumrah scaled a major milestone on Tuesday. After a break in the ODI series, Bumrah has roared back with form in the IND vs SA 1st t20I in Cuttack. The 32-year-old became the first Indian bowler to pick 100 wickets across all three formats of the game.
Arguably India's greatest bowler of the current generation, Bumrah has been a constant across formats when fit. He arrived for the t20I series on 99 wickets and reached the three-figure mark with the wicket of Dewald Brevis on Tuesday. He is only the second to reach 100 wickets in T20Is for India, behind Arshdeep Singh.
Overall, Bumrah has 234 wickets in Tests, with a further 149 in ODIs. He is the fifth overall to take 100 wickets in all formats. Tim Southee (391 in Tests, 221 in ODIs and 164 in T20Is), Shakib Al Hasan (246, 317, 149), Shaheen Shah Afridi (121, 135, 126) and Lasith Malinga (101, 338, 107) are the others to have breached the milestone.
