[PICTURES] Will Jasprit Bumrah reach 400 Test wickets?

[Romali_rotti]

Bumrah at best can aim for about 250 wickets, if he is lucky maybe 300 at his very best...

The short answer is, no. He will not play enough tests to get there. He was rested with IPL in mind. Even now, he is playing the 5th test only so BCCI can avoid all the finger pointing. They and MI would rather he not play the 5th test. Rest up and show up early to MI pre-season camp and work there.

I believe BCCI will slowly start dialing down their test participation. The Aus and Eng series will stay the same. But WI, SL, SA will get fewer and farther.

No. That's not how BCCI functions.

Bumrah was supposed to be rested after the 3rd test. But loss in the first test plus loss of Virat and injuries to KL and Jadeja meant Bumrah played the 3rd test and rested for the 4th.

Bumrah's work load needs to be managed. He is 30 and has had 2 back stress fractures. This has nothing to do with IPL or MI.

Unless its an overseas series, Bumrah won't play 5 continuous tests.

SENA will get 3 tests minimum, except SA who have now reduced India tests to 2.

SL will get 3 tests as India plays 3 tests there.

Its all a reciprocal arrangement and unlike other boards BCCI doesn't lack money so as to discard tests and play more white ball cricket.

He already has 157.

He has 16 tests in next 15 months. If he plays 10-12 of them he will cross 200.

I expect him to play 8 tests in Australia and England.

1 in Dharamshala

2 vs NZ

0-1 vs BD.

After the IPL and T20 WC Bumrah will get 2 months off.

Tough in this era for 3 format players, and not just Bumrah, even Shaheen who plays all 3 formats will find it impossible to maintain longevity in test cricket. Motivation too won't be that high.

Cummins will eventually let go off white ball cricket, as will Rabada. Anderson and Steyn did the same earlier. For SC cricketers, that is not an option. PR, brands will make sure of that.

Bumrah will only play ICC white ball events. Plus tests and IPL.

After next WC Bumrah will probably leave white ball cricket.

No, he won’t get to 400. He’s a world class bowler, but the thing holding him back from the highest tier that the likes of Wasim and McGrath occupy will be longevity.

Bumrah gets past 300, with the same Avg and SR he will be counted among the greats.

How long do you see Bumrah playing until? As he’s 30 right now do you see him playing international cricket till 36/37?

Yes he will. But after next WC he will probably not play any white ball cricket and concentrate on tests only.

And in the meantime he will hardly play JAMODIS.

He will play

Most tests
IPL
ICC events.

Thats 8-9 months of cricket. With rest in between.

 

[Ab Fan]

320-330 wickets @23.

Definitely, but maintaining the same career average and SR would be a feat by itself - almost all of the greats had their stats take an hit near the end of their careers. This includes batsmen - even the great ones like Tendulkar.
