India’s vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah continued his impressive run not just on the field but off it as well, as a result of his exploits in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Bumrah attained his career-best rating points as per the latest ICC rankings in Test cricket as the Indian spearhead extended his reign at the top with 904 points. 904 also happens to be the best rating points achieved by an Indian bowler as Bumrah equalled R Ashwin’s tally.
Ashwin, who finished his international career as the fifth-ranked Test bowler in the world had achieved 904 points during the 2016 home Test season. The senior offie called it off at 789 rating points. Bumrah, who registered a nine-wicket haul in the rain-marred Gabba Test is yet to achieve a 10-wicket match haul in his Test career but having taken 21 wickets already in the ongoing Australia series, the striker bowler seems to be at the peak of his powers.
