Renuka Singh is expected to be among the key bowlers of India as they come against Australia in the second semifinal of the ICC Women world Cup 2025 in the DY Patil sports academy in Navi Mumbai on Thursday, October 30. The 29-year-old has had four appearances in the tournament, and he has taken three wickets with an average of 38 and 3.93 economy rate.
Renuka also came up with impressive statistics of 2 for 25 in six overs in the rain-marred game against New Zealand. She removed Georgia Plimmer and captain Sophie Devine which gave India a shot in the arm to effectively control the game. She also had one wicket against Bangladesh before the match was cancelled after having scored 23 runs in five overs.
Renuka has already represented 25 ODIs in India. Her statistics are being compared with the stats of Jasprit Bumrah after his first 25 ODIs before the semifinal as both are reputed to be consistent and have complete control over the ball.

Jasprit Bumrah, however, had 46 wickets in 25 ODIs, a notch higher than Renuka. He also had a better average of 22.13. He ruled over Sri Lanka with 15 wickets in six matches at 14.73 and also against the best performing teams such as Australia and New Zealand.

Renuka has had an economy rate of 4.87 and has had 25 ODIs. Her costliest spells were with Australia where she yielded at 6.33 runs per over, but with England and Sri Lanka the figures were less than 4.5.
Bumrah had an economy rate of 4.76 in 25 ODIs which was a bit higher than that of Renuka. He was very strict on Sri Lanka and New Zealand and had maintained his rate at slightly less than 4 runs per over, although a little costly with England.
3. Renuka Singh vs Jasprit Bumrah – Which one of the two has the most five wicket hauls in terms of 25+ ODIs?
In her 25 ODs, Renuka has one 5 and 4 wicket hauls. Her highest score of 5-29 was against West Indies in Vadodara in 2024 when she also scored 4-29 in another game of the same series. She too has been equally impressive in the foreign country with 4-wicket hauls against England and Sri Lanka.
Bumrah also had one five-for and three four-wicket hauls following his 25 initial ODIs. His highest of 5 out of 27 was against the Sri Lanka at Pallekele in 2017. His performance in hitting frequently was also evident as he made two four-wicket toots against the Zimbabwe early in his career.
4. Renuka Singh vs Jasprit Bumrah -Who is doing better in terms of wins by the end of 25 ODIs?
Renuka has participated in 14 ODIs which India Women have won scoring 30 wickets with an amazing average of 15.53 and an economy of 3.90. Interestingly, India have never lost a game when she has four or more wickets, which is an indication of her winning effect in a match.
Bumrah had contributed to 21 out of the 25 ODIs he played and 42 wickets in the same with an average of 18.92. His regular roles in the wins such as three four-wicket harvests and one five-wicket harvest made him the bowler to rely on early in India in limited-overs cricket.
