Jasprit Bumrah’s Milestone Pursuit: Targeting Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s T20I Record vs Pakistan

The India-Pakistan rivalry reignites in the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four on September 20th. India, having won their initial match, is looking to continue their winning streak under Rohit Sharma’s leadership. Pakistan aims for a comeback to even the series. While the focus will be on the team battle, individual performances, especially Jasprit Bumrah’s, could be noteworthy. Bumrah is close to a significant milestone. He requires just four wickets to equal Bhuvneshwar Kumar as India’s second-highest wicket-taker in T20Is against Pakistan. Bhuvneshwar has taken 11 wickets in this historic rivalry, while Bumrah has 7. If Bumrah achieves four wickets on Sunday, he will equal Bhuvneshwar’s record. A five-wicket haul would place him above the veteran bowler. Hardik Pandya leads with 14 wickets in IND vs PAK T20Is. If Bumrah surpasses Bhuvneshwar, he will join Pandya in a select group of Indian bowlers who have significantly impacted this high-stakes match. Bumrah, with his current form, will be motivated not just to contribute to India’s success but to also cement his name in this historic rivalry.
