ജസ്പ്രീത് ബുംറ: ഇന്ത്യയിൽ 50 വിക്കറ്റുകൾ و T20 മെയ്ഡൻ ഓവർ ലോക റെക്കോഡ്

50 wickets across formats in India

According to Asianet News, Jasprit Bumrah became the first bowler to take 50 wickets in Tests, ODIs and T20Is while playing in India, reaching the milestone during the second T20I against Afghanistan on 15 September 2026 [1]. The report notes that in 16 home Tests he has 62 wickets with a best bowling figure of 6/45, and in 41 home ODIs he has 64 wickets with a best of 4/35 [1]. In home T20Is he had taken fewer than 50 wickets before this match, and the second T20I against Afghanistan brought him to the landmark.

Home‑soil consistency in Tests and ODIs

Before the Afghanistan series, Bumrah’s India‑based record stood at 16 Tests (62 wickets, best 6/45) and 41 ODIs (64 wickets, best 4/35), showing steady wicket‑taking across the two formats [1].

World record maiden overs in T20Is

In the same match he bowled a maiden over, raising his career total of maiden overs in T20Is to 13. This surpasses Richard Engarava’s previous record of 12 and sets a new world record for the most maiden overs in men’s T20 internationals [2]. DoolNews lists the progression: Jasprit Bumrah (India) – 13*, Richard Engarava (Zimbabwe) – 12, Bhuvneshwar Kumar (India) – 10, Blessing Muzarabani (Zimbabwe) – 9 [2].

Rarity of maiden overs in T20

Samayam Malayalam points out that recording a maiden over in the T20 format is exceptionally difficult, which makes Bumrah’s achievement noteworthy [3]. The article also notes that the maiden over came in the opening over of the second T20I against Afghanistan.

Why he is trending now

Google Trends shows a sharp spike in searches for ‘ജസ്പ്രീത് ബുംറ’ after the Afghanistan series, driven by the historic 50‑wicket home‑soil feat and the maiden‑over record [4]. The surge reflects fan interest in his return from an injury layoff and the implications for India’s pace bowling depth ahead of upcoming ICC tournaments.
