Team India’s premier pacer delivered one of the best bowling performances ever witnessed in Test cricket during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, leaving former cricketers and cricket experts in awe. The 31-year-old truly dominated the five-match Test series, finishing as the top wicket-taker with a jaw-dropping 32 wickets at an average of 13.06 in Australia.

The former Australian captain Ricky Ponting admitted that the conditions in Australia favored fast bowlers but noted that Bumrah’s ability to consistently make life difficult for some of the best batters in the world set him apart from others.

Ricky Ponting was quoted as saying by ICC: “No doubt, it's probably the best series of fast bowling I've ever seen. Yes, they had good conditions, the fast bowlers, for most of this series. But when you watched him (Bumrah) bowl compared to anyone else in the series, he made batting look so much harder. There's a lot of quality batting in that Australian top order as well, but he made all of them at different times look silly.”

After Ricky Ponting, Michael Vaughan also praised the bowler. The former England captain said that India might have had a chance to beat Australia in the fifth Test at the SCG and retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 if Jasprit Bumrah had been fit to bowl in the final innings.

India’s bowling attack was already weakened with Mohammad Shami being unavailable for the tour, leaving Bumrah to carry much of the pace bowling burden. However, Bumrah suffered a back spasm and was unable to bowl in Australia’s second innings, resulting in Australia comfortably chasing down the 162-run target in just 27 overs, securing a six-wicket victory.

Michael Vaughan said on Fox Sports: “They have really struggled to back up that man Bumrah. Obviously, he is missing the second innings here on a pitch that offered the seamers plenty. It could have been a different story if Bumrah had been fit.”
