India's T20I bowling average rises from 22.18 to 29.32 without Bumrah

India's bowling numbers against Full Member teams in T20Is in 2026 show the difference Jasprit Bumrah makes to the attack. With Bumrah in the playing XI, India have claimed 111 wickets in 15 matches at an average of 22.18 and an economy rate of 8.77. In the 13 matches without their premier fast bowler, India managed just 73 wickets at an average of 29.32 and conceded runs at 9.37 per over.

The contrast underlines how heavily India rely on Bumrah to provide control and breakthroughs. Without him, India have taken nearly half as many wickets despite playing almost as many matches. The figures assume greater significance as India prepare for another high-scoring contest against the West Indies in Indore.

India's fielding has also been a concern, with the team recording the most dropped catches among Full Member sides in T20Is since the start of 2025. Both teams have struggled to contain the opposition on batting-friendly surfaces.
