Jasprit Bumrah has made headlines in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 with his remarkable bowling performance. During the fifth Test held in Sydney, Bumrah surpassed the long-standing record of Bishan Singh Bedi for the most Test wickets taken by an Indian bowler in a series in Australia. With 32 wickets in the series, Bumrah has set a new benchmark, eclipsing Bedi's previous record of 31 wickets established during the 1977-78 tour.

Bumrah achieved this milestone by dismissing Marnus Labuschagne, further solidifying his dominance throughout the series. His statistics are impressive, boasting an average of 13.06 and an economy rate of 2.77. His best innings figures stand at 6/76, showcasing his ability to take crucial wickets at pivotal moments.

In the Sydney Test, Bumrah's workload was significant as he bowled a staggering 52.8 overs in the match, claiming 9 wickets. This performance highlights his efficiency and skill as a leading bowler. However, concerns have been raised regarding his workload management, as he has bowled over 150 overs throughout the series, often being relied upon every day of play. India captain Rohit Sharma has acknowledged the importance of managing Bumrah's workload to prevent potential burnout.

Despite these concerns, Bumrah's contributions have been vital for India, making him the highest wicket-taker in the series, significantly ahead of the next best Indian bowler, Mohammed Siraj, who has taken 16 wickets. Bumrah's exceptional performance continues to be a key factor in India's campaign in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
