Overview
- Bumrah hit the 100-wicket mark in T20Is in the opening match of the South Africa series, becoming only the second Indian to reach the milestone after Arshdeep Singh.
- The 100th dismissal stood after a third‑umpire review over a possible no‑ball, with the decision favoring the bowler.
- With this wicket, he becomes the first India bowler to log 100 wickets in Tests, ODIs and T20Is, a rare club that includes Lasith Malinga, Tim Southee, Shakib Al Hasan and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
- Arshdeep remains India’s leading T20I wicket‑taker, reported at 106, with Bumrah now on 100.
- He returned to the shortest format after being rested for the ODI leg, following an eight‑wicket haul in the preceding Tests, as analysts such as Parthiv Patel urged careful use of his overs between the powerplay and death.
