Jasprit Bumrah has been one of India’s most consistent and dangerous bowlers in T20 Internationals, and his record against New Zealand clearly shows why he is considered the team’s biggest match-winner. As India began the 5-match T20I series against the Kiwis in Nagpur, the spotlight once again turned to Bumrah’s unmatched accuracy, lethal yorkers, and powerplay control.
Across 13 T20Is against New Zealand—including the first four matches of the 2026 home series—Bumrah has consistently troubled every major Kiwi batter, whether it is Guptill, Mitchell, Phillips or Nicholls. His ability to bowl effectively in any phase of the innings makes him India’s most trusted bowler in pressure situations.
