Since they started their campaign in the 2024-25 edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in the best possible fashion with a win over Australia in Perth, Team India have been totally outplayed by the hosts in the subsequent three Test matches by the hosts.

However, there have been only one bright spot for the visitors during the entire series - pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. India talisman pacer Jasprit Bumrah along with England batters Joe Root, Harry Brook and Australia batter Travis Head have been shortlisted for the ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year. "England's marathon run-scoring duo, Australia's swashbuckling left-hander and India's pace-bowling icon make for a stellar list of nominees for the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy," ICC said in a statement.

Jasprit Bumrah went on an inspiring run across formats for India, guiding his side to memorable triumphs, including their second ICC Men's T20 World Cup title. Bumrah nabbed 15 wickets from eight outings - including a couple in the final against South Africa - as India went unbeaten at the 2024 T20 World Cup.
