Jasprit Bumrah Poised to Surpass Bhuvneshwar Kumar in India vs. Pakistan T20I Wicket-Taking Record

The highly anticipated Super Four clash of the Asia Cup 2025 between India and Pakistan is set for Sunday, September 20th. Following a dominant victory in their opening match, Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, aims to continue their winning streak. Pakistan, on the other hand, is looking to even the score in this intense rivalry. While the match itself promises excitement, individual achievements could also take center stage, especially for India’s pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah is on the verge of a significant milestone. He needs just four wickets to equal Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s record as India’s second-highest wicket-taker in T20Is against Pakistan. Bhuvneshwar has taken 11 wickets in this historic rivalry, while Bumrah currently has 7 wickets. If Bumrah takes four wickets on Sunday, he will tie with Bhuvneshwar. A five-wicket haul would surpass the experienced swing bowler, placing him in second place outright. Hardik Pandya currently leads the chart with 14 wickets in IND vs PAK T20Is. If Bumrah surpasses Bhuvneshwar, he will join Pandya in an exclusive group of Indian bowlers who have made a significant impact in this high-stakes match. With good form and rhythm, Bumrah is keen to make his mark and contribute to India’s potential victory.
