T20 WC: Bumrah Reaches 500-wicket Milestone In International Cricket
T20 World Cup: India’s pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, achieved a monumental career milestone during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final against England at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday as he became only the eighth Indian bowler to reach 500 international wickets with the first wicket he took off the opening delivery of his spell in the fifth over of England's chase.
Since making his debut against Australia in Sydney on January 23, 2016, Bumrah has scalped 500 wickets across all formats, joining an elite club that includes cricketing legends Anil Kumble, Ravichandran Ashwin, Harbhajan Singh, Kapil Dev, Ravindra Jadeja, Zaheer Khan, and Javagal Srinath as the seven other bowlers to have achieved the feat.
The 32-year-old fast bowler from Ahmedabad has now picked 234 wickets in 52 Tests, 149 wickets in 89 ODIs, and 117 wickets in 94 T20Is, highlighting his consistent performance and powerful influence across all formats.
