In 2019, Bumrah not only emerged as India's pace spearhead in all three formats of the game, but also became one of the best bowlers in the world.
Bumrah, 26, finished 2019 as the numero uno bowler in one-day cricket while occupying the sixth spot in the ICC Test bowlers rankings.
In the year gone by, he also achieved a rare feat, becoming only the third Indian to scalp a hat-trick in Tests after Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan.
Bumrah picked up 62, 103 and 51 wickets respectively from 12 Tests, 58 ODIs and 42 T20Is that he played for India so far.
But the right-arm pacer has been out of action since August after India's tour of the West Indies because of a stress fracture on his back.
Bumrah, however, has recovered from the injury and is set to make his return in the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka starting in Guwahati on 5 January.
He has also been picked in the squad for the three-match ODI series against Australia which will begin on 14 January in Mumbai after the Sri Lanka rubber.
