Australia vs India 2018-19: Five records that were created by the Indians in the Test series

Third most Test wickets in a debut calendar Year: Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah

It’s mind-boggling to think of the fact that Jasprit Bumrah made his debut three years ago and has mastered the art of fast bowling across every format in such quick time. Indian cricket has certainly been blessed with the arrival of Jasprit Bumrah.

While Bumrah has been a proven success in the limited overs of the game, lots of questions were raised whether he can succeed in the longer format of the game when he made his debut in South Africa last year. But, boy he has answered them in some fashion.

The biggest asset to Bumrah’s bowling is his awkward action which makes the batsman play at balls which could’ve been left. And to make it even more vulnerable he can move the ball both ways which make it even more confusing for the batsman.

Bumrah broke into the record books by becoming the third highest wicket-taker in a debut calendar year. He has 48 scalps to his name in the year 2018 only behind Curtly Ambrose (49 wickets in 1988) and Alderman (54 in 1981).
