Jasprit Bumrah has been nominated for the ICC Men’s Test Cricketer of the year award, along with England batters Joe Root and Harry Brook, and Sri Lanka’s newfound middle-order batter Kamindu Mendis.
Jasprit Bumrah has been the spearhead of Indian cricket for the longest time, but this year proved to be at the top of his game. In 13 matches this year, Bumrah picked up 71 wickets, and tops the charts for the most wickets taken this year ahead of England’s Gus Atkinson who sits at No.2 with 52 wickets.
Bumrah was impressive in all conditions, but his best performance so far has been in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, as he has picked up 30 wickets with a match to go. The series also witnessed him reach the 200 Test wickets milestone, becoming the fastest Indian to reach this feat.
With India’s captain Rohit Sharma not available for the first Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Perth, Bumrah took up the reins to lead the team to a 295-run victory. After being all-out for just 150 in the first innings, Bumrah shifted the control of the game to their side with a five wicket haul, and eventually bagged the three wickets in the second innings that closed the door on Australia who were chasing 534.
His performances saw him climb back to the top of the ICC Test bowlers rankings, and eventually being nominated for the ICC Men’s Test Cricketer of the Year award.
