*By Parth Dhall | Sep 22, 2025, 6:09 PM*
India recently overcame Pakistan in a thrilling Men’s T20 Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 encounter at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The Men in Blue successfully chased down a target of 172 in just 18.5 overs, once again showcasing their dominance in the format. Earlier, Sahibzada Farhan’s 45-ball 58 had powered Pakistan to a competitive total of 171/5 in 20 overs. In a surprising turn of events, India’s premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah was hit for 45 runs in his four overs.
Here’s a look at the most expensive spells Bumrah has bowled in T20I cricket:
### 1. 50 Runs vs Australia, Hyderabad, 2022
The only time Jasprit Bumrah has conceded 50 or more runs in a T20I was during the 2022 match against Australia in Hyderabad. The right-arm seamer gave away 50 runs without taking a wicket. Australia posted a strong total of 186/7 in their 20 overs. Despite Bumrah’s expensive spell, India managed to chase down the target, winning the match by six wickets with a ball to spare. Notably, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav both scored half-centuries to anchor the chase.
### 2. 47 Runs vs West Indies, Lauderhill, 2016
In his debut year at the international level, Bumrah experienced a challenging outing against the West Indies in Lauderhill. He conceded 47 runs but picked up two wickets. The West Indies capitalized on this to post a massive 245/6 in their 20 overs. India came agonizingly close, thanks to KL Rahul’s unbeaten 110, but ultimately lost the match by just one run.
### 3. 45 Runs vs New Zealand and Pakistan
Bumrah’s recent spell against Pakistan in Dubai, where he was taken for 45 runs, ranks as his joint third-most expensive in T20Is. He conceded the same number of runs against New Zealand during the 2020 Hamilton T20I as well. In both matches, Bumrah went wicketless. Despite this, India managed to defeat New Zealand in a thrilling one-over eliminator (Super Over) following the Hamilton game.
