Only one bowler in history has ever averaged sub 20 after playing 40+ matches (minimum 100 wickets). That was Shaun Pollock who reached a peak average of 19.86 at the end of his 50th match. If Bumrah maintains his sub 20 average here, he will be the second one. No bowler has finished a match with a sub 20 average from his 51st match onwards.

Fun stat: Pollock also had 0 10’fers at that point

There will always be a Pakistan sized asterisk against Bumrah's record. Skipped the roadiest venues of his era. What a fraud.

Edit. Actually, thought I better actually statsguru this before actually posting. And turns out Sri Lanka is roadier than even Pakistan (since his 2018 debut). And he's also skipped playing there. Double fraud.

This is why the world needs an India vs. Pakistan test match series.
