Jasprit Bumrah vs Tim Southee - comparing their stats after 82 T20Is

Seasoned pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been an exceptional performer for Team India across formats. He recently became the fifth bowler in international cricket to claim 100 wickets in all three formats, joining Lasith Malinga, Tim Southee, Shakib Al Hasan and Shaheen Shah Afridi. The fast bowler achieved the feat during the first T20I against South Africa in Cuttack when he dismissed Dewald Brevis.

Bumrah is expected to be the Men in Blue's X-factor during the 2026 T20 World Cup, which will be played in India and Sri Lanka in February-March. The 32-year-old was the Player of the Tournament when Team India lifted the 2024 T20 World Cup played in the United States and the West Indies. He picked up 15 wickets in eight matches, averaging 8.26 at an economy rate of 4.17.

Bumrah has played 82 T20Is so far. In this feature, we compare his stats with those of Southee after the former New Zealand pacer had also played 82 matches.
