Who will be Bumrah’s 500th victim, Jassi will create history in the India-England semi-final battle!

Mumbai: The semi-final match between India and England at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is going to witness a historic moment. Indian team’s ‘warrior’ Jasprit Bumrah is just one step away from the magical figure of 500 wickets in international cricket. As soon as Bumrah, who has taken 499 wickets, takes England’s first wicket, he will become the eighth bowler to join the elite club of seven legendary Indian bowlers like Anil Kumble and Kapil Dev. Home ground, pressure of semi-finals and 500th wicket, Bumrah’s deadly yorker is not only desperate to create history but is also ready to get the ticket to the final for Team India.

Peak of 500 international wickets
Jasprit Bumrah has taken 499 wickets in international cricket so far. By taking just one wicket in the semi-final against England, he will register 500 wickets in his name. So far only 7 bowlers have been able to touch this figure for India. If Bumrah achieves this feat, he will join the list of legends like Anil Kumble (956), Ravichandran Ashwin (765), Harbhajan Singh (717), Kapil Dev (687), Ravindra Jadeja (634), Zaheer Khan (610) and Javagal Srinath (551).

Bumrah’s journey so far
Bumrah has proved his mettle with his lethal bowling in all three formats:

Test Cricket: 234 wickets in 52 matches.

ODI Cricket: 149 wickets in 89 matches.

T20 International: 116 wickets in 93 matches.

The Indian team captained by Surya would like to clear the way for the finals.
With a total of 499 wickets, Bumrah has become one of India’s most successful fast bowlers and his home ground of Wankhede is the perfect platform for him to achieve this milestone. The form of both the teams in this high-voltage match is tremendous. The England team has been unbeaten so far in the current tournament and has won all its matches. At the same time, Team India has also performed brilliantly, whose only defeat in the tournament was against South Africa.

India had secured the semi-final ticket by defeating West Indies by 5 wickets in the last match of Super-8. While the Indian team under the captaincy of Surya would like to clear the way to the final, Bumrah’s eyes will not only be on destroying the England batsmen with his accurate yorkers, but will also be on registering his name in golden letters in the pages of cricket history.
