Jasprit Bumrah marked a stunning return to One Day International cricket on Tuesday, 14 July, becoming India's highest ODI wicket-taker on English soil during the first ODI against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham. The milestone arrived when Bumrah dismissed England captain Harry Brook, claiming his 31st ODI wicket in England and surpassing Ravindra Jadeja's previous record of 30.
The Milestone Moment
The dismissal of Brook was doubly significant — it was also Bumrah's 150th ODI wicket overall, achieved after a gap of 968 days from his last ODI appearance. He now leads India's all-time ODI wicket-takers in England, ahead of Jadeja (30), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (28), Madan Lal (27), and Mohammed Shami (26).
Speed to 150: Where Bumrah Ranks
Bumrah reached the 150-wicket mark in 4,605 deliveries, making him the third-fastest Indian to the milestone in terms of balls bowled. Only Mohammed Shami (4,070 balls) and Kuldeep Yadav (4,513 balls) were quicker. Bumrah finished ahead of Ajit Agarkar (5,027) and Irfan Pathan (5,131) on this measure.
Joining an Elite Global Club
The wicket also placed Bumrah in an exclusive international bracket. He became only the third cricketer in history to hold 200-plus Test wickets, 150-plus ODI wickets, and 100-plus T20I wickets simultaneously — joining Shakib Al Hasan and New Zealand's Tim Southee. Bumrah's current cross-format tally stands at 234 Test wickets, 150 ODI wickets, and 121 T20I wickets.
Bumrah's Dominance in English Conditions
His record in England underlines a particular mastery of overseas swing conditions. Across 17 ODIs in the country, Bumrah has taken 31 wickets at an average of 21.41 and an economy rate of 4.44. His personal best ODI figures — a stunning 6 for 19 — also came in England during the 2022 series. At the 2019 ODI World Cup, held in England, he claimed 18 wickets as India advanced to the semi-finals.
England's Innings: Root and Dawson Rescue
On the field, England recovered from a mid-innings collapse to post 258 all out in 47.5 overs. Axar Patel delivered a career-best 4 for 62, while Joe Root remained unbeaten on 76. A crucial 121-run seventh-wicket partnership between Root and Liam Dawson steadied the hosts after a dramatic middle-order slide and gave England a competitive total to defend.
With Bumrah back in ODI whites and firing from the outset, India's pace attack looks formidable heading into the remainder of the series.
Point of View
150 ODIs, 121 T20Is — is extraordinary, but it also reflects how heavily India has leaned on him. England's recovery to 258, built on a late lower-order stand, suggests India's supporting bowlers still lack the consistency to close out innings without Bumrah doing the heavy lifting. That dependence is both a tribute to his genius and a vulnerability the team cannot afford to ignore.
