Jasprit Bumrah is arguably India's best bowler in all formats of the game. After his impressive performances in the limited-overs cricket, he was included in the Test squad for the series against South Africa.

He dismissed South Africa's best batsman, AB de Villiers to pick up his maiden wicket. On the third Test against South Africa, he picked up his first fifer in Tests, with figures 5/54.

Bumrah picked up his second fifer in Tests in the third match of the series against England at Trent Bridge. On the Boxing Day Test against Australia at Melbourne, he took his third five-wicket haul in Tests.

The 25-years-old became the first Asian bowler to take the fifer in South Africa, England, and Australia in the same calendar year.

Bumrah has played 9 Tests this year and scalped 45 wickets at an inspiring average of 21.24 and an economy of 2.65 and struck every 48.09 deliveries.
