Jasprit Bumrah, the leading fast bowler for India, secured the second-highest number of wickets for the Men in Blue in a single edition of the T20 World Cup. He shone in the T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal against England, taking two crucial wickets against Jos Buttler’s team.
In the current major tournament, Bumrah has taken 13 wickets for Team India.

The 25-year-old has accumulated a total of 15 wickets so far in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024.

Chris Jordan spearheaded the England bowling attack with three wickets, conceding 37 runs in his three-over spell.
During their chase, England struggled to grasp the pitch conditions and managed to score only 103 runs in 16.4 overs. Harry Brook and Jos Buttler were the top performers with the bat for England.
India’s bowling attack, spearheaded by Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, proved decisive as both claimed three wickets each. Their efforts contributed significantly to India’s 68-run victory. Jasprit Bumrah also chipped in with two wickets while defending their total of 172 runs.
