IND vs AUS T20 Series Update
Team India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, leveled the series 1-1 on November 2. The first T20I was abandoned due to rain, Australia won the second match, and now with two games left, the contest is wide open.
Jasprit Bumrah Nears Milestone
India’s premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah is close to joining an elite group in T20 international cricket. He currently has 98 wickets and shares the second spot among Indian bowlers alongside Hardik Pandya, who is sidelined due to injury.
Arshdeep Singh Leads the Pack
Arshdeep Singh tops the list with 104 wickets and is the only Indian in the 100-wicket club in T20Is. If Bumrah takes just two more wickets, he will join Arshdeep in this exclusive group.
Key Performances and Team Dynamics
Both Bumrah and Arshdeep played crucial roles in India's T20 World Cup victory. However, since Rahul Dravid took over as coach, Arshdeep’s opportunities have been limited.
“The left-arm pacer sent a message with a brilliant 3/35 in the third T20I, hoping for a spot in the XI for the remaining matches.”
Bumrah’s performance in the series includes 2/26 in the second game and 0/26 in the third, with no bowling in the rain-affected first match. Despite fewer wickets, he has maintained a strong economy rate of 6.5 runs per over.
Looking Ahead to the T20 World Cup
The T20 World Cup is just three months away, and the duo of Bumrah and Arshdeep could form a formidable bowling partnership, especially on home soil.
Author's summary: Jasprit Bumrah is on the verge of joining the elite 100-wicket club in T20Is alongside Arshdeep Singh, with both key to India’s bowling attack heading into the World Cup.
