Jasprit Bumrah vs Dale Steyn - comparing their stats after 89 ODIs

Team India's star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is celebrating his 32nd birthday on Saturday, December 6. The right-arm fast has been India's standout performer with the ball across formats over the last few years. And if he stays fit, the cricketer with an unorthodox bowling action might finish his career as an all-time great.

Bumrah first impressed in the IPL for Mumbai Indians (MI) and was subsequently drafted into the white-ball squads for the series in Australia in early 2016. He made both his ODI and T20I debuts during the tour, impressing fans and critics alike. A couple of years later, the Ahmedabad-born bowler was also handed his Test debut in South Africa and has been an all-format player since then.

Bumrah has been rested for the ODI series against South Africa. On the special occasion of his birthday, we compare his stats with those of former Proteas fast bowling legend Dale Steyn. Since Bumrah has played 89 ODIs so far, we compare his numbers with those of Steyn after the latter had also played 89 matches.
