India vs Australia: Top 3 bowling figures of Jasprit Bumrah in ODIs

Recently, Jasprit Bumrah has made his comeback in international cricket after a year-long injury layoff. Since September last year, he was on a rest and went through a back surgery in January this year. As predicted by ESPNcricinfo, Bumrah did return to the field last month against Ireland. In the ongoing Asia Cup 2023, the right-arm pacer has played against Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

He will be important to India’s cause in the final as the team has qualified for the summit clash. Apart from this, he will also be important for the Asian team in the ODI World Cup 2023. Meanwhile, in this listicle, we will have a look at three best bowling figures of the Mumbai Indians player in the IPL.

Jasprit Bumrah’s three best bowling figures in ODI

1. Six wickets against England in 2022

A few games before Bumrah started having back trouble, the right-arm pacer bowled his best figures in his ODI career. In the first ODI against England last year, he took six wickets for just 19 runs. This led to the home side being bowled out for 110 runs. In reply, the Men In Blue chased down the target with all 10 wickets in hand.

2. Five wickets against Sri Lanka in 2017

In the third ODI against Sri Lanka six years back, Bumrah took another five-wicket haul in his career. Bowling first, India had a decent start as Bumrah took the wickets of Niroshan Dickwella and Kusal Perera in the fourth and eight overs respectively. 

In his second spell, the right-arm bowler ensured that the Lankans didn’t amass a big total. He completed his five wicket haul and restricted the home side to 217/9. In reply, India chase down the target with six wickets in hand thanks to Rohit Sharma (124*) and MS Dhoni (67*).

3. Four wickets against Zimbabwe in 2016

In the third ODI against the Chevrons, the home team had a decent start as they were 104/3 at one stage. However, Bumrah started penetrating in the middle overs and helped India reduce Zimbabwe to 123 all-out. The home side lost seven wickets for 22 runs. In reply, India won the game by 10 wickets with KL Rahul and Faiz Fazal scoring fifties.
