India, Dec. 10 -- India demolished South Africa in the first T20I of the five-match series at Cuttack by 101 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Their ace-pacer and leader of the pack, Jasprit Bumrah, chose this night to step into history. He removed Dewald Brevis to claim his 100th T20I wicket, becoming the first Indian and only the fifth bowler in international cricket to 100 or more wickets in all three formats of the game.

Bumrah finished the night with 2/17 in his three overs as South Africa skittled for 74, their lowest T20I total in reply to India's 175/6. The landmark capped a night that doubled as a statement of India's strength in the format heading into the T20 World Cup 2026.

Jasprit Bumrah now has 234 wickets in 52 Tests...
