The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 has been an exciting and intense contest between India and Australia, with some of the best bowlers on display. The series, which spanned five thrilling Test matches, featured some spicy tracks that made life tough for batters but gave bowlers a chance to shine. 

Let's take a closer look at the standout performers and who finished with the most wickets.

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah emerged as the hero for India in the BGT 2024/25. With a remarkable total of 32 wickets from five Tests, Bumrah was the top wicket-taker of the series. His sensational bowling performances played a vital role in India's strong showing, and he was deservedly named Player of the Series.

Jasprit Bumrah's finest moment came during the Brisbane Test, where his brilliant spell of fast bowling saw him pick up a five-wicket haul, which helped India bounce back after Australia posted a challenging 300-run total. 

His second five-wicket haul of the series came in the third Test at Brisbane, where he finished with impressive figures of 6/76. His ability to deliver under pressure made him a key figure for India throughout the series.

Pat Cummins

While India’s Bumrah stole the spotlight, Australia’s captain, Pat Cummins, was also a key player in his team’s bowling attack. Consistent throughout the series, Cummins finished with 25 wickets in 5 matches. His ability to step up in crucial moments showed why he remains Australia’s most reliable bowler.

Even though Cummins wasn’t able to outshine Bumrah in terms of wickets, his contribution was invaluable to Australia. 

Scott Boland

Scott Boland was perhaps the biggest surprise of the series. Stepping in for the injured Josh Hazlewood, Boland took full advantage of the opportunity, claiming an impressive 21 wickets in just 3 matches. His standout performance came in the Sydney Test, where his exceptional bowling helped Australia dominate the Indian batting order.
