Jasprit Bumrah is one of the premier fast bowlers in the world at the moment. Although he started his international career as a white-ball specialist, he has evolved to become a potent threat in the longest version of the game as well.
Bumrah has an exceptional overall record in the 66 ODIs he has played for India. He has scalped 106 wickets in these matches, at an excellent average of 25.40. The wily pacer is also known to be extremely economical, having conceded an average of just 4.66 runs per over in his ODI career.
#3: 2/79 vs England at Pune, January 2017
India hosted England at Pune in the first ODI of their tour of the sub-continent in January 2017. Indian captain Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to chase.
The visitors posted a massive score of 350/7 in their allotted 50 overs. Jasprit Bumrah was the second-most expensive bowler from the Indian side after Umesh Yadav, in terms of economy rates.
The Mumbai Indians speedster was taken for 79 runs in his quota of 10 overs, although he did take two crucial wickets in the form of Joe Root and Ben Stokes. This was Jasprit Bumrah's most expensive spell in ODI cricket at the time.
India managed to overhaul the target with three wickets in hand and almost two overs to spare. Virat Kohli and Kedar Jadhav were the star performers for India as they hit centuries after the home team was struggling with the score reading 63/4 at one point.
#2: 1/79 vs Australia at Sydney, November 2020
Jasprit Bumrah delivered the joint second-most expensive spell of his ODI career in the last match that India played against Australia. Aussie skipper Aaron Finch won the toss and opted to set a target for the Indians.
As in the first ODI of the series, the top three batsmen in the Australian batting lineup sent the Indian fielders on a leather hunt, with Steve Smith scoring another rollicking century. Glenn Maxwell and Marnus Labuschagne also joined in the fun as they helped themselves to half-centuries.
Australia piled on a mammoth score of 389/4, with Jasprit Bumrah conceding the most runs among the Indian bowlers. He was taken for 79 runs in his ten overs although he did manage to dismiss Labuschagne with the penultimate delivery of his spell.
Australia restricted India to a score of 338/9 to win the match by 51 runs and with it the series 2-0.
#1: 2/81 vs England at Cuttack, January 2017
India took on England in the second ODI of the latter's tour of the sub-continent at Cuttack in January 2017. England captain Eoin Morgan won the toss and opted to field.
India posted a massive score of 381/6 on the board, with Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni smashing centuries. The host nation managed to restrict England to a score of 366/8, thereby winning the match by a slender margin of 15 runs.
Jasprit Bumrah gave away 81 runs in the nine overs he bowled, the most conceded by an Indian bowler in that match. But the right-arm pacer did manage to snare a couple of wickets, getting rid of Alex Hales and Chris Woakes.
This spell of 2/81 is the most runs conceded by Jasprit Bumrah in an ODI encounter in his career to date.
