Jasprit Bumrah created history as the first Indian bowler to complete the landmark of 100 wickets across all three formats in international cricket, during the first T20 International against South Africa, in Cuttack, on Tuesday.
He joins an elite comprising of Sri Lanka's Lasith Malinga, New Zealand seamer Tim Southee, Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib
al Hasan and Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi as the only five bowlers to have completed a century of wickets across formats in international cricket.

Bumrah picked up 2/17 in three overs, getting wickets of Dewald Brevis and Keshav Maharaj taking his tally to 101 wickets at an average of 17.92 and an economy rate of 6.35.
