Jasprit Bumrah has joined the 200-wicket club in Test cricket with the dismissal of Travis Head, who couldn’t handle a bit of short delivery by the speedster. KL Rahul caught him, and the seamer averages less than 200, which is magnificent in the most challenging format of the game. India has been a land of batters, and the bowlers are never celebrated.

Ravichandran Ashwin, who took more than 500 scalps in the red-ball cricket, was never given his due respect by the fans and the former players. Virat Kohli was in the news even if Ashwin won the Player of the Series. However, Bumrah has managed to break the perception and is as famous as anyone in the sub-continent country.

Harsha Bhogle hailed the pacer for being the best in international cricket. “In the land of batters, Jasprit Bumrah has become a rockstar. You had mighty Kapil Dev bowling for India, and now Jasprit Bumrah has come forward. He is a star in every sense, and there is no way you can keep him away from wickets. Bumrah has been unstoppable in Australia and has bowled another terrific spell in the fourth Test,” he said.

The right-arm fast bowler has taken 29 wickets so far in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
