Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 Sets New Record For Most ‘Bowled’ Dismissals

There are few things more satisfying as a viewer than watching stumps get rattled, for the sound of the timber is cricket’s most primal, soul-stirring melody.

That way, the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 has proven to be the most satisfying series of cricket to watch in a very long time. 

We witnessed a staggering 45 ‘bowled’ dismissals in the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, which is a 21st-century record for the most bowled dismissals in a series. Fittingly, the series ended with a ‘bowled’ dismissal, with Mohammed Siraj rattling Gus Atkinson’s stumps with a yorker.

38 - AUS tour of ENG, 2005

36 - SA tour of IND, 2015

You’ll have to go back to 1983 for the last instance of a series witnessing more bowled dismissals. That was a six-Test series between India and the West Indies (in India), which West Indies won 3-0. 

Since 1970, there have only been four series that have overseen more ‘bowled’ dismissals than this one. 

As far as this series is concerned, Jasprit Bumrah was responsible for the most bowled dismissals, with 10 to his name.
