India’s premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah added another major milestone to his illustrious career during the first T20I against South Africa on Tuesday, becoming the latest entrant into the elite 100-wickets-in-each-format club in international cricket.
Bumrah entered the match with 99 T20I wickets and reached the landmark by dismissing Dewald Brevis in the 10th over. With this achievement, the 30-year-old joined an exclusive list that includes Pakistan’s Shaheen Afridi, Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga, New Zealand’s Tim Southee and Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan.
He is now the first Indian cricketer in history to claim 100 wickets each in Tests, ODIs and T20Is.
