Jasprit Bumrah’s T20I Milestone: Overtakes Saeed Ajmal vs Australia

Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has set a new record for the most T20 International wickets taken against Australia. This remarkable feat was accomplished during the closely contested fourth T20I. Bumrah’s single wicket in the match was enough to move him past the tally of former Pakistani off-spinner Saeed Ajmal, who previously held the record. The Indian squad, led by Suryakumar Yadav, has displayed excellent form, bouncing back strongly after the series opener was abandoned. In the fourth encounter, India successfully defended their total, showcasing a comprehensive team effort. Bumrah’s spell contributed to restricting the opposition’s scoring rate and ultimately securing the win. His current T20I record against Australia stands at 20 wickets across 16 matches. This surpasses Ajmal’s record of 19 wickets in 11 matches against the same opponent. Post-match, captain Yadav praised the smart batting and the bowlers’ adaptability, underscoring the collective spirit of the team.
