Bumrah Honoured With Sir Garfield Sobers Award For ICC Men’s Cricketer Of The Year
Sir Garfield Sobers Award: In a year dominated by Jasprit Bumrah's sheer brilliance across formats, the Indian pace maestro was crowned the ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year for 2024, earning the prestigious Sir Garfield Sobers Award overtaking fellow nominees Travis Head, Joe Root and Harry Brook.
Bumrah joined an elite list of Indian cricketers who have claimed this honour. His predecessors include Rahul Dravid (2004), Sachin Tendulkar (2010), Ravichandran Ashwin (2016), and Virat Kohli (2017, 2018). In a year when batters often stole the spotlight, Bumrah rose above the challenge, reminding the cricketing world of the value of elite bowling.
Bumrah's performances in red-ball cricket were nothing short of extraordinary. He became the fastest Indian pacer to achieve 200 Test wickets, finishing the year with a staggering 71 dismissals in just 13 matches at an average of under 20. His 2024 haul is the highest by any bowler for the year and second only to Kapil Dev’s record for the most wickets in a calendar year by an Indian pacer.
