Comeback into international cricket after a long layoff is never easy, but India's Jasprit Bumrah has proved otherwise.
Bumrah, leading India in the ongoing three-match T20I series against Ireland, has looked in rich form across the first two encounters in Dublin. India have already gained an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, beating hosts Ireland in the second tie on Sunday by 33 runs.
Bumrah displayed his full range of bowling in the second T20I, including a wicket maiden over. Bowling the final over, with Ireland needing 37, the ace speedster dished out a maiden over to become the second joint-highest maiden overs T20I bowler alongside teammate Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Germany's Ghulam Ahmadi.
Uganda's Frank Nsubuga leads the chart with 15 maiden overs in T20Is. At the same time, as many as eight players — Amjad Khan, Bilal Khan, Mustafizur Rahman, Saad bin Zafar, Henry Ssenyondo, Nuwan Kulasekara, Sanjay Kumar Thakor and Vraj Patel — are stuck on six.
Most maiden overs in T20Is
| Country | Bowler | No. of Maidens |
|---|---|---|
| Uganda | Frank Nsubuga | 15 |
| India | Jasprit Bumrah | 10 |
| India | Bhuvneshwar Kumar | 10 |
| Germany | Ghulam Ahmadi | 10 |
Since 2016, Bumrah has featured in 62 T20Is for India and claimed 74 wickets, the third-highest for an Indian bowler. The pacer will be in action on Wednesday, when the third and final T20I takes place between India and Ireland.
The lanky pacer's form will be crucial for India with Asia Cup 2023 and ICC World Cup 2023 just around the corner, and Rohit Sharma and co. heading into both the competitions as favourites.
