Jasprit Bumrah’s lethal T20I spells have cemented his reputation as India’s deadliest bowler. From dismantling Australia, England, and New Zealand to high-pressure World Cup performances against Pakistan and Afghanistan, his precision, variations, and death-over mastery have repeatedly turned matches in India’s favor, making him a standout performer in T20 cricket.
5. 3/16 vs Australia, 2019
Defending a modest total of 127, Jasprit Bumrah was at his lethal best against a strong Australian batting line-up. He picked up crucial wickets of Aaron Finch, Peter Handscomb, and Nathan Coulter-Nile while conceding just 16 runs in four overs. Despite his heroics, Glenn Maxwell’s 56 off 43 balls led Australia to a narrow three-wicket victory.
4. 3/14 vs England (2017) & Pakistan (2024)
Jasprit Bumrah produced magic on two separate occasions. In 2017 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, he used clever slower deliveries and pinpoint yorkers to claim 3/14, helping India secure a 75-run win over England. In 2024, defending 120 against Pakistan at the T20 World Cup, he repeated the feat, dismissing Rizwan, Babar Azam, and Iftikhar Ahmed, proving his ability to thrive in high-pressure games.
3. 3/12 vs New Zealand, 2020
2. 3/11 vs Zimbabwe, 2016
Early in his T20I career, Jasprit Bumrah announced himself in style in Harare. He dismissed Peter Moor, Elton Chigumbura, and Neville Madziva, finishing with 3/11. Paired with Barinder Sran, the pace duo bowled Zimbabwe out for 99, and India cruised to a 10-wicket win.
1. 3/7 vs Afghanistan, 2024
In the 2024 T20 World Cup at Kensington Oval, Bumrah delivered one of the most destructive spells of his career. He dismissed Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Hazratullah Zazai, and Najibullah Zadran while conceding just seven runs. His variations and control left Afghanistan stunned, making it a one-sided contest and one of the most memorable spells in Indian T20 history.
