T20 WC 2026: Jasprit Bumrah has a chance to create history in the semi-finals against England, a big record 1 wicket away

India and England cricket team will face each other in the second semi-final of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. This match will be played on March 5 at Wankhede Stadium. In this high-voltage match, all eyes will be on Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, because he is very close to a special record.

Bumrah can create history

If Jasprit Bumrah takes one wicket in this match, he will complete his 500 wickets in all three formats of international cricket. With this he will become the seventh bowler of India to achieve this feat. Bumrah made his debut in international cricket in the year 2016. Since then, he has taken a total of 499 wickets in 277 innings of 234 matches. His best bowling performance has been 6 wickets for 19 runs.

Excellent record in all three formats

If we look at Bumrah’s statistics, he has taken 234 wickets while playing 52 matches in Test cricket. He has 149 wickets in his name in 89 matches in ODI. Apart from this, he has taken 116 wickets in 93 matches in T20 International.

Will be included in the list of these greats

Till now, there have been only a few bowlers for India who have taken 500 or more wickets in international cricket. This feat was first achieved by former captain Kapil Dev, who has 687 wickets in his name in 356 matches. The record of taking most wickets for India is in the name of Anil Kumble, who took a total of 953 wickets. Apart from these, Ravichandran Ashwin, Harbhajan Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Zaheer Khan and Javagal Srinath are also included in this special club. In such a situation, Bumrah will have a golden opportunity to achieve this historic achievement in the semi-final match against England.
