Team India will lock horns with arch-rivals Pakistan in the round-robin fixture of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 14.
Just like in every important game, their pace-spearhead Jasprit Bumrah will be the key to their fortunes.
Bumrah has started off his World Cup 2023 campaign on a brilliant note against Australia, and he would look to continue the same against Pakistan.
On that note, here's a look at Jasprit Bumrah's record vs Pakistan in ODIs and T20Is:
Jasprit Bumrah record vs Pakistan - ODIs
Matches | Innings | Overs | Runs | Wickets | Average | E/R | S/R | 4/5 | BBI |
7 | 6 | 44.1 | 213 | 5 | 42.60 | 4.82 | 53.00 | 0/0 | 2/23 |
The legendary Indian seamer has locked horns with arch-rivals Pakistan on 7 instances in his one-day international career.
His first outing came during the league stage of the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, where he returned with figures of 0/23.
His next encounter against Pakistan- Champions Trophy 2017 final- proved to be a forgettable one as his no-ball to opener Fakhar Zaman proved to be extremely costly, with the southpaw smashing a match-winning ton and leading his side to an insurmountable total of 338.
Bumrah finished with figures of 0/68 from 9 overs.
A year and a half later, the champion bowler staged a brilliant redemption as he notched up figures of 2/23 (7.1) and 2/29 (10) in back-to-back games at the 2018 Asia Cup.
The 2019 World Cup game proved to be indifferent for Bumrah as he conceded 52 runs in 8 wicketless overs in an otherwise clinical performance by Team India.
Earlier this year, Jasprit returned to the Indian set-up following a long injury layoff, and made the ball to talk in whichever language he wanted her to speak against a helpless Pakistani batting-unit in seaming conditions of Colombo.
He returned with figures of 1/16 in 5 overs as the Men in Blue romped home to their biggest win over Pakistan- by 228 runs.
Overall, Bumrah has represented India in 7 ODIs against Pakistan, and has taken 5 wickets @ 42.60/4.82.
Jasprit Bumrah Record v Pakistan- T20Is
Matches | Innings | Overs | Runs | Wickets | Average | E/R | S/R | 4/5 | BBI |
3 | 3 | 10 | 62 | 2 | 31.00 | 6.20 | 30.00 | 0/0 | 1/8 |
Jasprit Bumrah has locked horns with Pakistan on three instances in the shortest format of the game.
In 3 matches, he has claimed 2 wickets @ 31.00/6.20.
His best T20I performance against Pakistan came in his very first outing- Asia Cup 2016- as he swung and seamed the ball both ways against the Pakistani top-order to register figures of 1-8 in 3 overs.
The next time Bumrah faced Pakistan in T20Is was during the 2016 World Cup, where he conceded 32 runs in 4 overs and picked up 1 wicket.
In recent times, Jasprit has missed a lot of T20I matches against Pakistan due to his recurring back issues. His last outing against them came during the forgettable 2021 T20 WC game, which India lost by 10 wickets.
