Pat Cummins and Jasprit Bumrah are regarded as two of the most feared fast bowlers in the world of Cricket and both of them have the potential in them to turn around a match in their team's favour with the help of their destructive bowling. 
In the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series, Bumrah had bowled in an exceptional manner as he finished the series as the highest wicket taker, managing to dismiss 32 Aussie batters. The Australian skipper on the other hand, troubled the Indian batters with his line and pace and didn't let them play their shots freely. He also ended the five-match Test-Series as the second highest wicket taker just behind Bumrah, managing to pick up 25 wickets. 
Both the bowlers perform equally well in limited overs formats as well and they will be taking part in the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025 tournament as well. In such a situation, let's take a look at the overall bowling stats of Bumrah and Cummins in One-Day International matches and find out which player is better between the two. 
<h2>Bumrah has picked up more wickets than Cummins</h2>
Team India's elite pacer Jasprit Bumrah has taken part in 89 ODI matches so far while Australian captain Pat Cummins has participated in 90 ODI contests. If we compare the records of the two players after 89 One-Day International games, then Bumrah manages to have the edge, as he has 149 scalps to his name at an amazing average of 23.55, while Cummins on the other hand, had dismissed 143 batters at an average of 28.53 after taking part in 89 games. 
The 31-year-old Indian pacer also has two five-wicket hauls to his name in 89 ODI games which gives him the edge over the Aussie skipper as he has managed to pick up just a single fifer in the same number of matches.
<h3>The economy rate of Bumrah in One-Day Cricket is better than Cummins</h3>
The economy rate of Pat Cummins after 89 One-Day Matches in comparison to Bumrah is very poor. While the former has economy rate of 5.27, the latter's economy rate is just 4.6 in the same number of contests. 
Bumrah's best bowling performance in the 50 over format is 6-19 while Cummins' best figures stand at 5-70. Also, both have them picked up four wicket hauls six times in 89 50 over contests. 
Therefore, by taking all of the mentioned stats and figures in mind, we get to know that India's x Factor, Jasprit Bumrah is a better bowler than Australian captain Pat Cummins in One-Day Cricket.

At No.3, Virat Kohli will be batting, and after an underwhelming 2023, he would want to make a strong comeback for the team. The premier batter has struggled to get going of late,and it will be a great opportunity for hhimmake his comeback, considering the record that he has in the ODI
Middle order - Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya 
Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul are likely to form the middle order for India in the first IND vs ENG ODI. The two were the backbone of the team in the ICC World Cup 2023 and would be keen to replicate the same form and help the team win the IND vs ENG ODI series and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Hardik Pandya also will be crucial for teamthe  in the middle order as he will be playing a vital role for teamthe  with the bat as well as the ball. He looked in great touch with bat and ball in the IND vs ENG T20I seires and would want to carry on the same confidence in the ODIs. 
Spinners - Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav 
india is likely to play the two two spin bowling all-rounders in Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. This allows India team to have batting depth as well as bowling depth. Also it provides India to have additional variation with left-arm spinner and off-spinner. 
Kuldeep Yadav is also likely to make his return to the team after the long injury hituas. The IND vs ENG series will be important for him as well to get some confidence ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Pacers - Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh

The Indian Cricket Team, under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav secured an easy 150 run win in the fifth and the final T20 International match at the iconic Wankhede Stadium of Mumbai and this victory allowed the 2024 T20 World Cup winners to win the five-match series by margin of 4-1. While winning the series is a good news for the Men in Blue, not everything is good as a key player of the team suffered an injury in the final encounter of the series. 
Wicketkeeper batsman and opening batter Sanju Samson got injured off the bowling of Jofra Archer as his delivery hit the index finger of the 30-year-old and due to this, he has suffered a fracture. This was the reason why Dhruv Jurel was seen handling the wicketkeeping duties in the fifth T20 International in Mumbai. 
Following the xray scans, it has been confirmed that Sanju will be out of action for a minimum of one month and this is not good news for Team India and Rajasthan Royals, the IPL franchise of the wicketkeeper batter. 
<h2>Samson is set to miss the Ranji Trophy</h2>
The 30-year-old will now go to the NCA in Bengaluru in order to begin his rehabilitation process and he won't start training before his rehab ends. In order to return to the Cricket field, the Rajasthan Royals skipper will need the green signal of the NCA. 
He plays Domestic Cricket for Kerala and they are currently scheduled to play in the quarter-final round of the Ranji Trophy versus Jammu &amp; Kashmir between 8th of February to the 12th of February. The all-important Final of the tournament is set to commence from the 26th of February and will be played till the 2nd of March. 
Since Samson will be out for a period of one month, he will miss the quarter-final match versus J&amp;K and if Kerala manages to successfully qualify for the Final, then he will miss that Trophy-deciding clash as well.
<h3>His chances of making a comeback in the IPL are high</h3>
Sanju Samson is not a part of Team India's squad for the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025 tournament and in such a situation, his comeback will straight away take place in the IPL. According to an anonymous source of the BCCI, the 30-year-old will at least take five weeks to restart practicing in the nets due to his finger injury. That's why, his chances of featuring in the Ranji Trophy Quarter Finals are looking very bleak. It's almost certain that he will return to the Cricketing field directly in IPL 2025.
<h2>Samson's performance in the England T20i series was not good</h2>
Sanju Samson failed to perform well in the five-match T20 International series versus England, managing to score just 51 runs with the bat in the entire series. His batting performance disappointed a lot of Indian fans as the trio of Saqib Mahmood, Jofra Archer and Mark Wood got the better of him easily with the help of the short pitched deliveries and the 30-year-old wasn't given the chance to stay at the crease beyond the powerplay overs. 
The 30-year-old's performance with the bat in the upcoming 2025 edition of the IPL will be monitored closely and he will have to be at his best if he wants to stay in the T20i mix.
