Jasprit Bumrah second fastest Indian to take 100 ODI wickets

Leeds: Jasprit Bumrah became the second fastest Indian to take 100 wickets in One-Day International (ODI) cricket when he dismissed Sri Lanka skipper Dimuth Karunaratne at Headingly on Saturday during India's last league match of the World Cup, according to NDTV website.

Bumrah, who is the number 1 bowler in ICC ODI Bowlers' rankings, achieved this feat in his 57th ODI match, one more than Mohammed Shami, NDTV added. Afghanistan's Rashid Khan is the fastest to achieve this milestone, having achieved it in 44 ODI matches. Bumrah's impressive domestic season and IPL performances earned him his first national call in 2016. He made his ODI debut against Australia in Sydney and returned with figures of 2/40 in 10 overs, NDTV said in its report.

Bumrah is currently participating in the World Cup in England & Wales where he continues to dazzle. He has picked up 16 wickets in just eight matches. His best bowling figures in the World Cup so far came against Bangladesh when he returned with the figures of 4/55, said NDTV.
