*By Parth Dhall | Sep 22, 2025, 06:09 PM*
India showcased their dominance once again by overcoming 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. Earlier, Sahibzada Farhan’s 45-ball 58 had powered Pakistan to a competitive total of 171/5 in 20 overs.
In a surprising twist during the match, India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was hit for 45 runs in his four-over spell. This performance marks one of Bumrah’s most expensive spells in T20 international cricket. Here’s a look at the costliest outings of the Indian pacer in this format.
### #1 – 50 runs vs Australia, Hyderabad, 2022
Jasprit Bumrah has conceded 50-plus runs in a T20I only once in his career. This happened during the 2022 T20I against Australia in Hyderabad. Bumrah gave away 50 runs without claiming a wicket. Australia posted a formidable total of 186/7 in 20 overs.
Despite the expensive bowling spell, India managed to chase down the target comfortably, winning the match by six wickets with one ball to spare. The victory was propelled by half-centuries from Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav.
### #2 – 47 runs vs West Indies, Lauderhill, 2016
In his debut year at the international level, Bumrah faced a tough challenge against the West Indies during the historic T20I match in Lauderhill in 2016. He conceded 47 runs but managed to take two wickets.
The Caribbean team posted a massive 245/6 in their 20 overs. India came agonizingly close to chasing the target, thanks largely to KL Rahul’s unbeaten century (110*), but fell short by just one run in a nail-biting finish.
### #3 – 45 runs vs New Zealand and Pakistan
Bumrah’s recent 45-run haul against Pakistan in Dubai during the 2025 Asia Cup is tied as his joint third-most expensive spell in T20I cricket. He gave away as many runs in the 2020 Hamilton T20I against New Zealand as well.
Notably, Bumrah was wicketless in both matches. However, India managed to defeat New Zealand in the thrilling one-over eliminator (Super Over) during that encounter.
