Jasprit Bumrah made history on July 14, 2026, by breaking Ravindra Jadeja’s record for most ODI wickets by an Indian bowler in England. Bumrah’s 150th ODI wicket came during the first ODI against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham, where he dismissed England captain Harry Brook. This milestone also saw Bumrah surpass Jadeja’s tally of 30 ODI wickets in England, now leading with 31.
What happened in the match?
Bumrah’s return to ODI cricket after 968 days was marked by a stellar performance. He took his 150th ODI wicket in just 4,605 deliveries, becoming the third Indian to achieve this feat in the fewest balls. His record in England is impressive, with 31 wickets in 17 ODIs at an average of 21.41 and an economy rate of 4.44.
Why it matters for Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja had held the record for most ODI wickets by an Indian bowler in England with 30. Bumrah’s achievement now places him ahead of Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Madan Lal, and Mohammed Shami in this category. Jadeja’s contributions to Indian cricket remain significant, but Bumrah’s recent form highlights his dominance in overseas conditions.
What comes next for Bumrah and Jadeja?
Bumrah’s record-breaking performance adds to his growing list of achievements, including 234 Test wickets, 150 ODI wickets, and 121 T20I wickets. Jadeja, meanwhile, continues to be a key player for India, known for his all-round abilities. The rivalry between these two cricketers adds depth to India’s bowling attack, making them formidable opponents in international cricket.
