Speaking of Bumrah's performances in 2024, they were nothing short of extraordinary. He became the fastest Indian pacer to reach 200 Test wickets during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia and achieved a record-breaking 907 points in the ICC Test Bowling Rankings, the highest for any Indian bowler in history.
His dominance extended to the T20 World Cup, where he was the Player of the Tournament, taking 15 wickets at an economy of just 4.17. With standout spells in critical matches, including the final against South Africa, Bumrah played a pivotal role in India's T20 World Cup triumph.
In Tests, Bumrah scalped 71 wickets in 13 matches, making him the year's leading Test wicket-taker and second only to Kapil Dev for the most wickets by an Indian pacer in a calendar year. His five-wicket hauls in Perth, Brisbane, and Melbourne during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy exemplified his ability to dominate on any surface.
