Key Insights
60: Jasprit Bumrah has found significant success with the red ball in Australia. On his three tours down under from 2018 to 2025, he has racked up over 60 wickets, adding 21 in 2018/19, 11 in 2020/21, and 30-plus in 2024/25.
1: Bumrah’s total wickets in Australia are the most by an Indian bowler. Former Indian skipper and seamer Kapil Dev follows him with 51 scalps.
2: Bumrah is only the second Indian bowler to grab 30 or more wickets in a Test series in Australia. And he is the first Indian pacer to do this, which is even more remarkable.
140: The right-arm pacer is India’s leading wicket-taker in SENA – South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia – countries. He has picked up 140-plus scalps at an average of close to 21 in SENA countries.
150: Bumrah is one of the four Indian fast bowlers to take more than 150 wickets in away Test matches. Dev (215), Zahir Khan (207), and Ishant Sharma (204) are the other three pacers. And looking at Bumrah’s form, he may overtake all three of them in the coming years.
0: Except for New Zealand, the Gujarat pacer has picked up at least one five-wicket haul in each of the five countries he has played in.
