Jasprit Bumrah is expected to achieve another major career milestone as India take on South Africa in the first T20I match against South Africa at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack, on Tuesday (December 9, 2025).
The 32-year-old, who missed the preceding three-match ODI series due to workload management, will enter the match with 99 wickets in the format. With a wicket, the right-arm fast bowler from Ahmedabad will become only the fifth player to take 100 wickets in each of the three formats in international cricket.
