Mumbai Indians’ pace ace Jasprit Bumrah is set to light up IPL once more in his 13th season. With 183 wickets from 145 matches at 22.02 average and two five-fors, his record speaks volumes. Four times he has breached 20 wickets in a single campaign, a testament to his unrelenting skill.
Debuting in 2013, Bumrah’s initial stint was brief: two matches, 42 balls, three wickets. 2014 offered more chances—11 games—but yielded just five dismissals, a learning curve.
2015 was similarly subdued with three wickets in four matches. Then came 2016, his breakout with 15 scalps in 14 games. 2017 elevated him further: 20 wickets in 16 matches at 22 average.
The 2018 edition featured 17 wickets in 14 outings. In 2019, he struck 19 times in 16 matches, leaking 409 runs at 21.52. IPL 2020/21 saw him peak at 27 wickets from 15 games.
Replicating brilliance in 2021, Bumrah grabbed 21 in 14 for 410 runs. 2022 brought 15 wickets in 14, highlighted by a dream spell of five for 10 against KKR. He matched that tally in the next season.
2024 was vintage Bumrah: 20 wickets in 13 matches, starring a 5/21 vs RCB. In 2025, he added 18 wickets in 12 games at 17.55 average. From tentative beginnings to IPL icon, Bumrah’s evolution is the stuff of legend.
