• With 8484 deliveries, Bumrah is the fourth-fastest bowler in terms of balls bowled to reach 200 wickets, trailing only legends like Waqar Younis (7725), Dale Steyn (7848), and Kagiso Rabada (8154).
• In the ongoing 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Bumrah has already taken 29 wickets at an unbelievable average of around 12 and a strike rate of ~26 (At the time of posting it).
