In-form Indian speedster takes two wickets in rained-out affair against West Indies to set new mark

Boom India youngster Jasprit Bumrah has added his name to the record books after capturing the most T20 International wickets in a calendar year.

Bumrah, who only made his T20I debut in January against Australia at the Adelaide Oval, has taken 28 wickets for India in the game's shortest format from 21 matches.

Former Australia quick Dirk Nannes was the previous record holder, having taken 27 wickets in 14 matches in 2010.

Very impressed by Bumrah.

One of the few bowlers in the LOI format for India who I trust. His biggest weapon are his yorkers on demand...

 

Still only 22 and will get better.

From his 28 wickets, half wickets may have come from Yorkers

What's exciting is that, over the last 5 years, our pacers are the best in the world in terms of both average and strike rate in T20s. (vs the other 7 main teams)

This is despite us not having a particular T20 pacer who we would consider a star bowler. Bumrah is a star in the making, so our pace attack will get even better, especially at the death.

Great Great Bowler. After Dhoni is kicked out of T20s, Kohli will take him under his wings and let him soar.
