Bhuvneshwar was India's new-ball bowler before Bumrah arrived, and for a while they shared the job: Bhuvi swung it early, Bumrah closed it out at the death. Bhuvi is the first Indian with five-wicket hauls in all three formats and won back-to-back IPL Purple Caps in 2016 and 2017.
Bumrah then became something India had not had before. He won the ICC Cricketer of the Year award for 2024, was player of the match in the 2026 T20 World Cup final, and has been called the best fast bowler in the world by the players who face him.
