Indian Pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah Named ICC Cricketer of the Year 2024

Indian Pace Sensation Jasprit Bumrah has been awarded the prestigious Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy as the ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year for 2024, making history as the first Indian fast bowler to receive this honor. His remarkable year included being named the ICC Men’s Test Cricketer of the Year and playing a pivotal role in India’s triumph at the T20I World Cup, where his performances were instrumental in their success. Bumrah was also selected for both the ICC Men’s Test and T20I Teams of the Year, further cementing his profound influence on the game.

Bumrah’s dominant 2024 saw him overcome fellow nominees Travis Head, Joe Root, and Harry Brook to claim the top prize. He joins an illustrious list of Indian recipients of this award, following in the footsteps of Rahul Dravid (2004), Sachin Tendulkar (2010), Ravichandran Ashwin (2016), and Virat Kohli (2017, 2018). This is the second individual ICC Award for Bumrah this year, as he was also honored as the ICC Men’s Test Cricketer of the Year, following his 71 wickets in 13 games.

A masterclass in skill, precision, and consistency, Bumrah shattered records across formats in 2024, solidifying his position as the world’s premier fast bowler. He became the fastest Indian pacer to reach 200 Test wickets, achieving the milestone with an extraordinary sub-20 bowling average—the best in history. Bumrah also surpassed the 900-point mark in the ICC Test Bowling Rankings, finishing the year with a record-breaking 907 points, the highest ever for an Indian bowler.

Jasprit Bumrah’s 2024 in Numbers: Bumrah was a standout performer in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, leading India to their first title in 17 years. He was named Player of the Tournament for his stunning 15 wickets at an astonishing average of 8.26 and an economy rate of just 4.17.
