On the other hand, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has also bowled in 69 innings of 70 T20I matches and has taken 71 wickets at an average of 23.30.

Best performance

Bumrah's best performance in T20I career has been 3 wickets for 7 runs, which is a proof of his tight bowling. However, he has not yet taken a 4 or 5 wicket haul in any T20I match. On the other hand, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is ahead in this matter. Bhuvi has taken 4 wickets twice and 5 wicket haul (5 wickets for 24 runs) once in 70 T20I matches. Bhuvneshwar's performance looks better than Bumrah in the ability to take more wickets in a single match.

Economy rate

Economy rate in T20 cricket is an important measure of a bowler's ability. In this case, Jasprit Bumrah's performance has been excellent. His economy rate is 6.27, which is very impressive in a fast format like T20. On the other hand, Bhuvneshwar Kumar's economy rate has been 6.90. This difference shows that Bumrah has been more effective than Bhuvi in stopping runs.

Strength of both

Jasprit Bumrah: Bumrah's strength is his yorker, slower ball and ability to take wickets in any situation. His low economy rate and better average make him a rounder T20 bowler. He is also very effective in the death overs.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Bhuvi's swing bowling and the art of troubling batsmen in the early overs make him special. Performances like his 5-wicket haul show that he can perform brilliantly on big occasions.
