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 in the shortest format 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 in Cuttack.
