Jasprit Bumrah was named ICC 2024 Men’s Test Cricketer of the Year for his amazing performance in the longest format. Right-handed bowler beat Sri Lankan Kamindu Mendis, English Joe Root, and Harry Brook to win the championship.
Amazing 2024 Bumrahtrip. His late 2023 form after a long back injury was impressive, winning critical matches. His bowling guided India to home triumphs over England and Bangladesh and series wins over South Africa and Australia. In the year, Bumrah defeated England’s Gus Atkinson by 19 runs with 71 Test wickets. His 2.96 efficiency in 357 overs showed his consistency and knack for frustrating batters.
Together, Bumrah, Ashwin, Kumble, and Dev took nearly 70 Test wickets in a year. His average is the lowest among bowlers who take 70 or more wickets per year, demonstrating he can neutralise batting teams. Just 17 bowlers have done this.
Bumrah, Travis Head, Joe Root, and Harry Brook will compete for the 2024 Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy. One of the greatest bowlers ever, he is important to Indian cricket.
