Jasprit Bumrah IPL 2021 Performance With Mumbai Indians

Jasprit Bumrah is a famous Indian cricketer who plays for the national side in all formats of the game. He was born on 6 December 1993 in Ahmedabad. He is a right-arm fast bowler who has an unorthodox quick-arm action. The Indian team had been looking for a death-over specialist for a long time. They were also struggling to clean up the tail-enders, especially in overseas conditions. The wiry pacer from Gujarat put an end to that search and is now the spearhead of India’s bowling attack. His all-time favorite bowlers are Wasim Akram, Mitchell Johnson, and Brett Lee.

Bumrah plays Ranji cricket for his home state of Gujarat. He made his first-class debut against Vidarbha in October 2013. With his unusual run-up, slinging action, and unique delivery point, he proved too hot for the batsmen in the domestic circuit. The national team came calling in January 2016 and he made his ODI and T20I debut versus Australia Down Under. His Test debut came two years later against South Africa in Cape Town on 5 January 2018.

John Wright spotted his rare talent and roped him into the Mumbai Indians squad for the 2013 season. The rest is history, and Bumrah is now one of the stars of the Indian Premier League. He is known for consistently hitting the blockhole, and his lethal yorkers are second to none. The speedster is one of the fastest Indian bowlers and clocks an average speed of 142 KPH.

Jasprit Bumrah in IPL Career and Performance

Bumrah’s meteoric rise from the ranks of the Mumbai Indians to a world-class bowler has been unbelievable. ‘Boom’ was an instant success in the IPL. He picked up three wickets on his debut against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2013 season. His maiden scalp was none other than Virat Kohli. In spite of Gaylestorm hitting Bangalore that day, a 19-year-old Bumrah finished with respectable figures of 3-32. He played just one more match in the tournament that year.

Bumrah was repurchased by MI the following year as he performed consistently in the domestic circuit. He did not quite make a mark in 2014 and 2015 and picked up just eight wickets from 15 games over the two years.

2016 was his breakthrough year, both in IPL as well as internationally. Along with Lasith Malinga, he became a part of a fearsome Mumbai Indians bowling line-up. Other teams couldn’t deal with the duo’s accurate bowling, particularly in the final overs. By 2018, Bumrah had even surpassed the Sri Lankan veteran to become the go-to bowler for the side. He became the top wicket-taker for MI that season.

Bumrah was once again influential for the Mumbai Indians as they went on to win the IPL back-to-back in 2019 and 2020. He narrowly missed the purple cap in 2020 as Kagiso Rabada picked up 30 wickets for the Delhi Capitals.
