Bumrah clinched the ICC Men’s Test Cricketer of the Year award as well.

Jasprit Bumrah has created history by becoming the first Indian fast bowler to win the prestigious ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year award. His stellar performances throughout 2024 earned him the Sir Garfield Sobers Award, making him the fifth Indian to achieve this feat. Bumrah joins an elite list of past winners, including Rahul Dravid (2004), Sachin Tendulkar (2010), Ravichandran Ashwin (2016), and Virat Kohli (2017, 2018).

Bumrah’s dominance was particularly evident in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he claimed 32 wickets, and he was instrumental in India’s T20 World Cup triumph. He finished the tournament with 15 wickets at an average of 8.26, earning him the Player of the Tournament title.

Additionally, Bumrah clinched the ICC Men’s Test Cricketer of the Year award, courtesy of an extraordinary haul of 71 wickets in 13 matches, the highest for any bowler in 2024.

Reflecting on the accolade, Bumrah shared, “Winning the Sir Garfield Sobers Award is truly special. Last year’s T20 World Cup victory in Barbados will always hold a special place in my heart. Watching my heroes win this award inspired me as a youngster, and it’s an honor to now be on the receiving end.”

The Indian pacer’s achievements highlight his exceptional talent and reaffirm his status as one of cricket’s finest players.
