In a sport almost entirely dominated by batters, the right-handed pacer showcased why he continues to hold his own and is among the finest bowlers to emerge in modern-day cricket.<\/p>\n<p>The 31-year-old put up domineering performances across every format of the game in 2024 and was rightly adjudged as the Cricketer of the Year. Bumrah became the fifth Indian after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/rahul-dravid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Rahul Dravid<\/a> (2004), Sachin Tendulkar (2010), Ravichandran Ashwin (2016), and Virat Kohli (2017, 2018) to win the prestigious award.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow nominees on the list were Travis Head, Joe Root, and Harry Brook, but Bumrah managed to overcome them quite comfortably. <\/p>\n<p>In 2024, Jasprit Bumrah&#8217;s greatest achievement was becoming the fastest bowler to reach 200 wickets in Test cricket with an average of less than 20, which is the best in history.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Jasprit Bumrah broke records in 2024<\/h2>\n<p>Jasprit Bumrah was also given the honor of leading India in the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia in Perth in the absence of Rohit Sharma. He responded in style, guiding the team to victory in Perth. <\/p>\n<p>The speedster was awarded the ICC Men&#8217;s Test Cricketer of the Year recently, and his being voted as the overall Cricketer of the Year was merely a matter of formality. The current number one Test bowler in the world ended the year with 907 points, which is the most by any Indian bowler in history.<\/p>\n<p>Bumrah stole the show in India&#8217;s T20 World Cup win in 2024, picking up 15 wickets at an economy of just 4.17, and winning the Player of the Tournament award. In Test cricket, he picked up a whopping 71 wickets in 13 matches and finished the year as the leading wicket-taker in the world.<\/p>\n<p>In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he won the Player of the Series award with 32 scalps to his name. Most importantly, Bumrah&#8217;s contributions in the 2023-25 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/go\/icc-world-test-championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">World Test Championship<\/a> cycle equated to 77 wickets, which is the most that any pacer has had in a single cycle, despite India not making it to the final.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Ankush Das<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script> \nvar fbPixelFired = false;\nvar pixelID = \"952063904834769\";\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\ndocument.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\nfunction loadFBPixel() {\nif(fbPixelFired) {\nreturn;\n}\nfbPixelFired = true;\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
