Jasprit Bumrah, India's premier fast bowler, has achieved a significant milestone in his career by attaining the No.1 ICC ranking across multiple formats of the game, joining some esteemed names of the cricket fraternity in this elite list of players.

Bumrah, an Indian fast-bowling maverick, unleashed his supremacy with the ball against England in the Vizag Test held earlier this week. Bumah claimed a six-fer in the first innings to terrorise the Englishmen with his lethal yorkers and unplayable deliveries.

In the second innings, Bumrah mastered the art of reverse swing to produce a magical spell, which left the likes of Ollie Pope and Ben Stokes humiliated. Not only that, the pacer unlocked a significant career milestone as he scalped 150 Test wickets in a short span of his red ball career.

Bumrah reaped the rewards for his hard work and sheer brilliance with the ball as he got ranked as the No.1 bowler in revised ICC Test rankings.

He has now entered an elite list of players who previously achieved No.1 ranking across all formats of the game. The list included names of some great legends of the game, including Virat Kohli, Ricky Ponting, and Matthew Hayden. 

Needless to say, his latest achievement has further stamped Bumrah's authority in world cricket. After a long while, India has had the luxury of a seamer who can be a leader and man of crisis in challenging situations.

Being ranked in the same category as some former legends of the game is a remarkable feat for Jasprit Bumrah, and it serves as a testament to his hard work, dedication, and relentless pursuit of excellence in the sport.
