IND vs AUS T20 Series Update
Team India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, leveled the series 1-1 on November 2. The first T20I was abandoned due to rain, and Australia won the second match. With two games remaining, the contest is wide open.
Jasprit Bumrah Nears Milestone
India’s top pacer Jasprit Bumrah is close to reaching a significant milestone. He has taken 98 wickets in T20 internationals, placing him joint-second among Indian bowlers alongside Hardik Pandya, who is sidelined this series due to injury.
Arshdeep Singh leads the Indian T20I bowling charts with 104 wickets and is currently the only Indian in the 100-wicket club. If Bumrah takes two more wickets, he will join Arshdeep in this exclusive group.
Key Players' Contributions
- Bumrah and Arshdeep were vital to India's T20 World Cup victory.
- Since Rahul Dravid became coach, Arshdeep’s match opportunities have been limited.
- In the third T20I, Arshdeep impressed with a spell of 3/35, demonstrating his value.
- Bumrah delivered 2/26 in the second T20I and 0/26 in the third, maintaining pressure with an economy rate of 6.5 across the series.
"Hopefully we will see Arshdeep in the playing XI for the remaining games."
Looking Ahead
With the T20 World Cup just three months away, the duo of Bumrah and Arshdeep could form a formidable bowling partnership, especially in home conditions.
Author's summary: Jasprit Bumrah is poised to join Arshdeep Singh in the elite 100-wicket T20I club, highlighting their crucial roles as India prepares for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
