Star Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah shone on his return for India as he returned with figures of 4/35 in the third One Day International match against the West Indies played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune.
It was also Jasprit Bumrah’s best bowling performance in the limited overs games in 2018. Bumrah also received full support from the fielders as MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma pulled off two brilliant catches off his bowling. Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling performance against the West Indies on Saturday was also the third-best by an Indian pacer against the Caribbean outfit.
Here is the list of best ODI figures for an Indian pacer vs West Indies:
5/26 Sanjeev Sharma, Sharjah, 1988
4/30 M Prabhakar, Sharjah, 1991
4/35 J Bumrah, Pune, 2018 *
4/36 Mohd Shami, Delhi, 2014
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old Indian bowler also became the 2nd highest wicket taking pacer since 2017, leaving England’s Liam Plunkett behind and in the process, he became the only fast-bowler to take more than 50 wickets in Asia since 2016 in ODIs.
Now, Jasprit Bumrah is only behind Pakistan’s Hasan Ali.
