Jasprit Bumrah delivered a standout performance at The Gabba, adding another significant milestone to his illustrious career by reaching 50 Test wickets in Australia. His exceptional bowling spell in the ongoing series reasserted his position as one of the finest fast bowlers in world cricket. Bumrah’s six-wicket haul, which played a pivotal role in dismantling Australia’s innings at 445, highlighted his mastery over pace and precision, even when his fellow seamers struggled.
With the second new ball, Bumrah’s blistering pace and skill stood out. In a single over on Day 2, he dismissed key Australian batters Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head, showcasing his ability to deliver breakthroughs at crucial junctures. He finished with remarkable figures of 6/76, further cementing his reputation with an impressive average of 17.82 for his 50 Test wickets in Australia, achieved in just 10 matches.
Bumrah continued his dominance on Day 3 by removing Mitchell Starc early, setting the tone for India’s bowling attack. His efforts inspired Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep to clear out the Australian tail. While the rest of the Indian bowling unit struggled to contain runs, Bumrah’s exceptional economy rate of 2.70 underlined his efficiency and control.
His impact extended beyond individual brilliance. Bumrah consistently troubled Australia’s openers, Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney, throughout the series. The pair has only managed 30 runs in 121 deliveries against him, with an average of 4.28, and Bumrah has dismissed them seven times, underscoring his dominance.
At 31, Bumrah continues to redefine fast bowling, delivering under pressure and providing India with vital breakthroughs in critical moments. His performance at The Gabba adds another chapter to his remarkable journey in red-ball cricket.
