By Samira Vishwas

Sports : In the exciting journey of T20 World Cup 2026, Jasprit Bumrah has registered his name in golden letters in the pages of history with his magical bowling. In the Super-8 match against South Africa at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Bumrah not only eased the way for Team India’s victory but also achieved a big personal achievement. He has now become the highest wicket taker for India in the history of T20 World Cup. His success has given Indian fans a chance to dance.

Gave 15 runs and took 3 important wickets

Let us tell you that Bumrah’s havoc was clearly visible on the packed ground of Ahmedabad on Sunday. He bowled very economically and sharply in his quota of 4 overs, giving only 15 runs and taking 3 important wickets. With this brilliant performance, his total number of wickets in World Cup history has now reached 33. With this big achievement, he has defeated veterans like Arshdeep Singh and experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. This systematic bowling of Bumrah left the opposition batsmen completely helpless at the crease.

Became number one by defeating the giants

Before this record of Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Ravichandran Ashwin were jointly on top with 32-32 wickets. While Arshdeep had achieved this position in a very short time with his accurate yorker and excellent swing, Ashwin troubled the batsmen for years with his clever spin bowling and variety. By leaving these two bowlers behind in Sunday’s match, Bumrah has given proof of being the undisputed king of the Indian bowling attack. His yorker still remains an unsolved mystery to the world.

List of top Indian bowlers

If we look at this historical list of Indian bowlers, the name of all-rounder Hardik Pandya is recorded at the fourth position. Hardik has taken 29 wickets in the T20 World Cup so far and he has always given relief to the team by taking wickets at crucial times. At the same time, experienced spinner Ravindra Jadeja is at fifth position with 22 wickets. This list shows what an excellent balance of experience and youth is maintained in the Indian bowling unit, which proves to be the main basis of India’s victory in major tournaments.

Noose tightened on Proteas team

At one time during the match, it seemed that the South African batsmen would easily cross the huge score of 200 runs by adopting an aggressive stance. Dangerous players like Quinton de Kock and Miller were scoring runs rapidly. But Bumrah’s lethal bowling changed the entire course of the game. He not only effectively controlled the run rate but also restricted the Proteas team to just 187 runs by taking wickets at crucial junctures. It was Bumrah’s magical spell that turned the entire game of the match in India’s favor.

The path to the semi-finals became easier

This achievement of Bumrah has not only enhanced his personal career but has also further strengthened India’s claim in the current tournament. The captain and team management are very excited with this form of Bumrah. The target of 188 runs is certainly challenging for the Indian batsmen, but the psychological edge given by Bumrah has boosted the spirits of the dressing room. The audience of Ahmedabad stood up and welcomed this historic achievement of Bumrah with loud applause, which shows his stature.
