Career

Jasprit Bumrah bowls with a run-up shorter than most spinners and a hyperextended arm action that releases the ball noticeably closer to the batter than a conventional fast bowler. The result is a delivery that arrives faster than it appears and a natural angle that is very difficult to line up.

He entered international cricket as a T20 death-overs specialist, where his yorker was the primary weapon, and then proved the method transferred: he took five-wicket hauls in Australia, England, South Africa and the West Indies within his first year of Test cricket, an unusual feat for a bowler with no first-class pedigree at the time of selection.

Injury management has shaped the back half of his career, with his workload deliberately rotated across formats, but when fit he has been ranked the best bowler in the world across formats.

Highlights

  • Took Test five-wicket hauls in Australia, England, South Africa and the West Indies in his debut year
  • Ranked the world's number one bowler across formats at various points
  • Regarded as the finest death-overs bowler of his era
  • Long-serving spearhead of Mumbai Indians' IPL attack

Overview

What the figures show

190 IPL wickets, taken between 2014 and 2026, are the substance of Jasprit Bumrah's tournament record.

Every one of those seasons was played for Mumbai Indians. There is no IPL cricket on the record in 2015 and 2023. That is a wicket every 19 balls. Set against the 101 bowlers here with 300 IPL balls or more, an economy rate of 7.32 is cheaper than their 8.17 median.
