Jasprit Bumrah Captaincy Records in All Formats

Jasprit Bumrah, one of India’s greatest bowlers of all time, is a rare pacer from India who has led the team at the highest level. He has shown great leadership skills while leading the pace attack for close to a decade, and this made him a prime contender for taking over the captaincy of the Indian national team whenever required.

Though never announced a full-time skipper for Team India, Bumrah has been an integral part of their leadership group and was appointed as the designated vice captain on a few of the tours. The pacer is the 36th Test skipper for India and the 11th as far as T20Is are concerned. He is yet to lead his IPL team, the Mumbai Indians, or India’s ODI team.

This article will give a glimpse of Bumrah’s captaincy record in all formats of international cricket.
