For T20 world cup, they have every wicket of Kuldeep and every wicket of Arshdeep videos on YouTube. Why no Bumrah?

Bumrah has picked 37% of wickets out of all wickets in matches he played for India.

It will be interesting to see some others in history doing the same and one bowler carrying the team so heavily. May be Hadlee and Murali have similar numbers? I can't think of some one else who was carrying the team so heavily.

Not surprising tbh because we rest him at Home games to manage his workload. More accurate data would be from his debut date .

I mean, ofcourse he can't take wickets if he doesn't play. His home record is excellent as well.
I am not disputing his home record. In fact he is missing out on cheap wickets. I am saying data is misleading. He wouldn’t have picked same proportion if he wasn’t rested at home.

. He wouldn’t have picked same proportion if he wasn’t rested at home.
Rested in all games or injured in middle for some time as well. I think he was out due to injury for some time.

I think he has very few games at home so far and India wasn't really relying on him at home. It was spinners at home most of the times.

India relied heavily on Bumrah away. India rarely used to win tests in Aus, SA and Eng before he showed up. To show the contrast,

After Bumrah's debute,

India was won 11 tests
in Eng, SA and Aus.


40 years period ( 1978- 2017) before Bumrah's debute,

India won 11 tests in Eng, SA and Aus.

Yes, different eras, but it's staggering contrast. He simply made good suport bowlers look much better. None of them were doing much before Bumrah debuted. I would say India has been hugely dependent on Bumrah when not playing on spinnning tracks at home. That's captures the reality better than the earlier data.

It will be interesting if any team in past were so dependent on one bowler when playing away or even at home. Hadlee and Murali comes in my mind, but I have not looked at the break up of all bowlers.

Dev bowled a lot but nothing close to 25-30 overs daily.

4623/131 - 35 overs in test.

In our times, I used to do this so we should keep doing it. That logic is a bad one.

Different era, diffrent strain on body depending on how fast you bowl and bowling action.

It wasn't a great thing for him to bowl that much as well.

It's okay. People misrepresent misattribute stuff on social media all the time. I know it was Sandhu because I saw it the day it first came out (sometime last week).

Sandhu played 8 tests and bowled 170 overs
= 21 overs per test.

In FC cricket: 1547 overs in 55 games
= 28 overs per match.

Kapil Dev = 35 overs per test
= 29.6 overs per FC match

Bumrah 1438 / 45
= 32 overs per test
= 31.7 per FC match (2316 / 73 games)
