Jasprit Bumrah has made rapid strides in Test cricket in 2018. At the beginning of 2018, the fast bowler was India's number one bowler in ODI and T20 cricket. He was handed his debut against South Africa at Cape Town and since then he has not looked behind.

He picked up 14 wickets at an average of 25.21 against South Africa and followed it up with 14 more wickets at an average of around 25.93 against England. In the ongoing Test series against Australia, Bumrah has already picked up 19 wickets.
In a short career of nine Tests, Bumrah has already picked up 47 Test wickets at an average of 21 and proved to be a strike bowler for Virat Kohli.
Bumrah is a real asset for team India and the management has to manage his workload to ensure that he stays fit.

A passionate fan of Team India, Cricket has a special place in his heart owing to the way the sport has continued to evolve over the years. He is also thrilled by the competitiveness on display across all formats in the sport. His favorite cricketer is Sachin Tendulkar and reckons that his childhood idol's dominance over world-class bowlers in the 1990s speaks volumes about his skills and achievements.
Meit has had the privilege of interviewing Indian speedster Ishant Sharma and India Women's legend Mithali Raj so far in his professional career.
If he ever laid his hands on a time machine, Meit would love to witness the 2023 ICC World Cup final between India and Australia and believes that ODIs should never be completely replaced by T20Is owing to the format's popularity.
