Jasprit Bumrah named ICC Men’s Player of the Month for December 2024

Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been honored with the ICC Men's Player of the Month award for December 2024, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Tuesday.

His remarkable performances during India's tour of Australia in December played a pivotal role in securing him the prestigious award, defeating strong contenders such as Pat Cummins and Dane Paterson.

Over the three matches in December, Bumrah claimed an impressive 22 wickets at an exceptional average of 14.22, leading India’s bowling attack. His standout performance came in Adelaide, where he took four crucial wickets, keeping India within reach of Australia’s first-innings lead.

Bumrah then shone even brighter in Brisbane, taking six wickets in the first innings to rattle Australia’s batting order. He followed up with three more wickets in the second innings, completing a nine-wicket match haul. His efforts were integral in securing a draw despite adverse weather conditions, helping India maintain their chances in the series.

The Boxing Day Test in Melbourne saw Bumrah continue to impress, claiming four wickets in the first innings, followed by a five-wicket haul in the second innings to dismiss Australia for 234. Despite India’s batting woes leading to a heavy defeat, Bumrah’s brilliance was a silver lining in a tough tour.

Bumrah’s consistent match-winning contributions not only earned him the Player of the Series award but also elevated his standing as one of cricket’s top bowlers.

He marked a significant milestone by taking his 200th Test wicket, becoming the fourth-fastest player to reach this achievement. Additionally, he made history by being the first bowler to take 200 Test wickets at an average below 20.

For his extraordinary impact on the field, Jasprit Bumrah has been awarded the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for December 2024.
