There are bowlers who win matches, and then there is Jasprit Bumrah, a game-changer who leaves his mark on entire tournaments. With his lethal pace, unerring accuracy, and nerves of steel, Bumrah has time and again proven why he is India’s go-to weapon in high-pressure situations.
As India prepare for the T20 Asia Cup 2025, his presence in skipper Suryakumar Yadav’s attack adds a priceless edge.
From Rookie to Match-Winner
Since making his debut in 2016, Bumrah has been rewriting India’s fast-bowling narrative. His entry into international cricket was almost accidental, and he was drafted into the ODI side in Sydney after Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s injury. India, which had been struggling, suddenly turned into a winning outfit with Bumrah in the mix. That early impact foreshadowed the career he would build.

Hero of the T20 World Cup 2024
Bumrah’s brilliance sparked during the 2024 T20 World Cup, where his 15 wickets in eight games helped India clinch the trophy. His death-overs mastery was lauded by Virat Kohli at the victory parade, who urged fans to give him a standing ovation for repeatedly bringing India back into games.
Under Scrutiny, But Unfazed
This summer wasn’t without criticism. Questions over his workload management surfaced when Bumrah played only three of five Tests in England. But with the Asia Cup offering ample rest between games, the stage is set for him to silence doubts.
For Bumrah, words of praise often fall short. Yet, the Asia Cup presents another chance to underline his unmatched value. If history is any indicator, expect him to once again turn matches and perhaps the tournament in India’s favour.
