Jasprit Bumrah will lead India’s bowling attack in the five-match T20I series against Australia, which is set to start on Wednesday (October 29). During the first T20I match between the two teams, which is set to be played at Manuka Oval in Canberra on Wednesday, Bumrah will have a chance to enter his name in the history books. If the 31-year-old pacer from Ahmedabad, who made his international debut in January 2016 against Australia at Sydney Cricket Ground, manages to take at least four wickets, then he will complete 100 dismissals in T20Is and will also become the first Indian bowler to take at least 100 wickets in all three formats.
As of now, Bumrah has 96 wickets to his credit in 75 T20Is played so far. He has dismissed 226 batters in 50 Tests and has picked up 149 wickets in 89 ODIs.

| FORMAT | MATCHES | WICKETS | BEST FIGURES | 5-WICKET HAUL |

Only four bowlers – Tim Southee, Lasith Malinga, Shakib Al Hasan and Shaheen Shah Afridi – have managed to take 100 wickets in all three formats so far.
Southee finished his career with 391 wickets in Tests, 221 in ODIs and 164 in T20Is, whereas Malinga picked up 101 wickets in Tests, 338 in ODIs and 108 in T20Is. 38-year-old Shakib, who last played for Bangladesh in 2024, has dismissed 246 batters in Tests, 317 in ODIs and 149 in T20Is, and Shaheen has 121, 131 and 119 wickets to his name in Tests, ODIs and T20Is, respectively.
Bowlers to take 100 wickets in all three formats
| BOWLER | TEAM | WKTS (TESTS) | WKTS (ODIs) | WKTS (T20Is) |
| Tim Southee | New Zealand | 391 | 221 | 164 |

| Shakib Al Hasan | Bangladesh | 246 | 317 | 149 |
| Shaheen Shah Afridi | Pakistan | 121 | 131 | 119 |
A total of at least four wickets in the upcoming five matches against Australia will also help Bumrah become the second Indian bowler after Arshdeep Singh to take 100 wickets in T20Is. The left-arm pacer from Punjab became the first Indian to take 100 wickets in T20Is last month.
