BGT 2024-25: Bumrah Becomes Third Indian Pacer To Take 50 Test Wickets In A Calendar Year
With this feat, Bumrah joins the elite company of Kapil Dev and Zaheer Khan as the only Indian pacers to take 50 Test wickets in a calendar year. Bumrah reached the landmark in his 11th Test of 2024. Kapil Dev remains the highest wicket-taker for Indian pacers in a year, with 75 Test wickets in 1983, followed by his 74 in 1979. Zaheer Khan stands third with 51 scalps in 2002.
Bumrah's achievement comes on the heels of a stellar year across formats. He now leads the all-format wickets chart for 2024, with 65 dismissals in 19 matches. His contributions have been pivotal, not only in Tests but also in limited-overs cricket, where he played a crucial role in India’s T20 World Cup triumph in June, bagging 15 wickets in eight matches to finish third on the tournament’s wicket-takers list.
