Overview
- On January 23, Jasprit Bumrah marked a decade since his 2016 SCG debut, sharing a reflective highlights video on Instagram.
- India rested Bumrah for the second T20I in Raipur as Harshit Rana came into the XI with Kuldeep Yadav also included, and the hosts won by seven wickets to take a 2-0 lead.
- Former India batter Mohammad Kaif publicly questioned the call, asking “Rest for what? What workload?” and arguing Bumrah should not have been left out.
- Team management has tightly managed Bumrah’s appearances since a stress injury last January, prioritizing durability over short-term selection.
- Across formats he has 234 Test, 149 ODI and 103 T20I wickets, has reached No. 1 in the ICC Test bowling rankings, and collected 2024’s Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy with T20 World Cup Player of the Tournament.
