Jasprit Bumrah named ICC Men's Player of the Month for December 2024 after outstanding performance in Australia tour.
India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was on Tuesday (January 14, 2025) named ICC Men’s Player of the Month for December 2024 after his sensational performance during the recent tour of Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Leading India's attack single-handedly, Bumrah relentlessly kept Australian batsmen under intense pressure, claiming 22 wickets in three Tests in December last year at an outstanding average of 14.22.
He ended with 32 wickets in the five-match series which concluded on January 5. The first match was played in November. His match-winning contributions included a nine-wicket haul in Brisbane and a five-wicket display in Melbourne as he edged out Australian skipper Pat Cummins and South African Dane Paterson for the award, stated the ICC.
He also reached a significant milestone, becoming the first bowler to take 200 Test wickets at an average below 20.
Bumrah’s brilliance was evident from the very start, with a standout performance in Adelaide. His four-wicket haul was instrumental in minimising Australia’s lead in the first innings, keeping India within striking distance.
He followed this up with a sensational display in Brisbane, where his six wickets in the first innings dismantled Australia’s batting order. Bumrah added three more scalps in the second innings to complete a nine-wicket match haul.
His efforts ensured the rain-affected match ended in a draw, keeping India alive in the series.
