IND vs BAN 2024: Ahmedabad Express Jasprit Bumrah on the cusp of achieving three milestones vs Bangladesh

India's premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah who was recently rested for the team's tour of Sri Lanka will be back in full swing for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh, starting on September 19 at Chepauk.

The Ahmedabad Express was last seen playing for India in the team's ICC T20 World Cup 2024 final against South Africa, which India won by 7 runs to clinch the second accolade. After India's title triumph, the BCCI decided to rest the right-arm paceman for the Sri Lanka tour.

Bumrah who is the fastest Indian pacer to take 150 wickets in Test cricket is on the verge of achieving multiple milestones. The paceman who is going to make his first Test appearance against Bangladesh will be looking forward to unlocking some notable feats and let's take a look at them.

1. Nearing 400 International Wickets: The 30-year-old is just three wickets away from reaching the monumental milestone of 400 international wickets. The right-arm fast bowler who is known for his ability to deliver under pressure across formats has taken 159 wickets in Tests, 149 wickets in ODIs and 89 wickets in T20Is. From his debut to becoming India’s go-to bowler, his journey as a fast bowler has been nothing short of spectacular.

2. Could surpass Vinoo Mankad's Test Wicket Tally: Vinoo Mankad who was a stalwart of Indian cricket in the 1940s and 50s, took 162 wickets in his Test career. Meanwhile, Bumrah currently sits at 159 wickets and needs just four more wickets to surpass Mankad's tally. He will be looking forward to accomplishing the feat against Bangladesh in the upcoming series.

3. Could edge past Javagal Srinath and Erapalli Prasanna's Test fifers: Another exciting record that Bumrah is on the verge of achieving is regarding the five-wicket hauls in Tests. For the record, Bumrah, along with Javagal Srinath and Erapalli Prasanna, currently have pocketed 10 fifers in the longest format. One more fifer will help push the Ahmedabad-born pacer ahead of the duo.
