Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Jasprit Bumrah has gone on to script history. The ace speedster has become the first Indian bowler ever to rake up the highest-ever ratings in the ICC Men’s Test Bowling Ratings. He is currently the World Number 1 in Red Ball cricket and has a points tally of 907 points.
While India currently trails the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2-1, Bumrah has been a class apart. In the 4 Test matches so far he has gone to scalp 30 wickets. And owing to his brilliant 2024 year, he has also been shortlisted for the ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year award.
