London: India paceman Jasprit Bumrah has been named as the Leading Men's Cricketer in the World in the 2025 edition of the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, with compatriot Smriti Mandhana picking up the women's award.
Bumrah was given the honour by the sport's "bible" after a stunning 2024 in which he excelled in red-ball and white-ball cricket.
The 31-year-old picked up 71 Test wickets at an average of less than 15 and was named player of the tournament as India won the T20 World Cup in the West Indies.
Wisden editor Lawrence Booth described Bumrah as "quite simply the star of the year".
Reflecting on Bumrah's astonishing efforts during India's Test series in Australia, Booth wrote: "He was so lethal, so uniquely challenging -- a staccato of limbs somehow forming a symphony -- that runs scored off him should have counted double.
