Jasprit Bumrah is back in action for Team India. The 32-year-old fast bowler from Ahmedabad was rested for the three-match ODI series against South Africa but is back for the five-match T20I series. In the first
match taking place at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack on Tuesday (December 9), Bumrah picked up his first wicket of the match on the second ball of the 11th over. He dismissed Dewald Brevis, who was caught by Suryakumar Yadav after making 22 runs from 14 balls.
Bumrah’s first wicket of the night helped him take his tally of wickets to 100 in T20Is. He is the second Indian bowler after Arshdeep Singh to take 100 wickets in T20Is, and in addition to that, he also became the first Indian to take at least 100 wickets in all three formats of the game.
