IND vs PAK: In the high-voltage India-Pakistan match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, Indian star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah wreaked such havoc that Pakistan’s innings could not recover from the initial shock. Bumrah turned the match completely towards India by taking the wickets of Sam Ayub and captain Salman Ali Aga in his single over.

Bumrah took 2 wickets in a single over

Pakistan team, which came to chase the target of 176 runs given by India, got a big blow in the very first over. Opener Sahibzada Farhan was out on the ball of Hardik Pandya without opening the account. After this, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah wreaked havoc in the second over. He first gave out LBW to Sam Ayub, who was out after scoring 6 runs in just 2 balls. Bumrah did not stop here and in the same over he dismissed captain Salman Ali, who could score only 4 runs in 4 balls. These initial shocks pushed Pakistan’s innings completely on the backfoot.

Excellent record against Pakistan

The record of taking the most wickets in the T-20 matches played between India and Pakistan is in the name of all-rounder Hardik Pandya. He has taken 16 wickets. In this case, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is at second place, who has taken 11 wickets.
