World number 1 Test bowler Jasprit Bumrah also performed strongly for the Indian team in the Melbourne Test. After taking four wickets in the first innings, he opened his claws in the second innings. However, despite their best efforts, Team India lost in Melbourne. But after losing the match, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has given a big good news to Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah has been nominated for the 'ICC Test Cricketer of the Year' award.

Bumrah can become 'ICC Test Cricketer of the Year'

In the year 2024, the performance of legends like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli has been very poor.

On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah recorded one record after another this year. This year was full of records for Bumrah in Test cricket. Due to this, he was nominated for ICC Test Cricketer of the Year. Apart from them, Joe Root and Harry Brook of England and Kamindu Mendis of Sri Lanka are also included in this list. However, considering Bumrah's excellent record and performance, it is believed that he can be ICC's Test Cricketer of 2024.

Bumrah took 71 test wickets in 2024
