Will Jasprit Bumrah make his comeback in the RCB vs MI match? Here are Bumrah’s 5 best bowling innings in the IPL
Indian pace sensation Jasprit Bumrah is regarded as one of the greatest pacers of modern cricket; however, injuries have been a major concern for the star pacer.
Bumrah has finally been reported to be in the Mumbai Indians squad, and as reported by Head Coach Mahela Jayawardene, Bumrah is fit and is also available for selection into the MI Playing 11. Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the game since the final game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, as his injury ruled him out of the ICC Champions Trophy for India.
Bumrah stayed in the NCA and underwent rehabilitation to reform himself and deem himself fit before making his return to the field. MI has faced serious concern about their third pace option, especially with their death bowling.
Bumrah’s return will be of immense relief for the MI coach, skipper Pandya, and the fans of the 5-time champions. Pairing alongside Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah can lead Mumbai Indians to stage a comeback alongside skipper Pandya, who features as the highest wicket-taker for MI in IPL 2025, with a 5-for in the previous game.
Here is a glimpse of Jasprit Bumrah’s 5 best bowling innings in the IPL
Jasprit Bumrah has stunned several oppositions in the IPL over the years, starring for the Mumbai Indians. Here are a few of them:
1. 5/10 vs KKR, IPL 2022
Back in IPL 2022, not one of the best seasons for the Mumbai Indians, Bumrah was always a class apart on his own. Bumrah picked a stunning 5-for in the 2022 IPL and was also a contender for the Purple cap in the season, eventually surpassed by spinners Hasaranga and Chahal.
At the DY Patil Stadium, he bowled his best spell of the IPL, with 5 wickets, giving away just 10 runs in his 4 overs at an economy rate of 2.5. Bumrah dismantled the batters with his toe-crushing yorkers.
2. 5/21 vs RCB, IPL 2024
The latest of many, Bumrah’s best bowling figures in IPL 2024 came against the opposition Royal Challengers Bangalore, when he dismissed batters like Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Mahipal Lomror, Saurav Chauhan and Vijaykumar Vyshak.
Bumrah baffled the likes of Kohli, who already looked unsettled under him, having played several dot balls. He outclassed the veteran batter and later dismissed the set skipper du Plessis as well.
3. 4/14 vs Delhi Capitals, IPL 2020
The last season of Mumbai Indians' dominance in the IPL, the IPL 2020, was when MI lifted the trophy for the last time. Delhi Capitals were the table-toppers in the season against whom MI played in the first qualifier.
At the Dubai International Stadium, Mumbai Indians found Jasprit Bumrah pick up a remarkable 4/14 in his 4 overs. His spell demolished the DC top order, which also ensured MI’s place in the finals of IPL 2020.
4. 3/7 vs KKR, IPL 2017
Another winning season for the Mumbai Indians; Jasprit Bumrah was their best performer and was also named the player of the tournament for the season. Under Lasith Malinga’s guidance, Bumrah slowly evolved to be a world-class paceman.
Bumrah kept things tight during the Eliminator clash against KKR, as his sublime accuracy in the death overs made him a talent worth looking at. He finished with figures of 3/7 in his 3.2 overs at a remarkably low economy.
5. 3/13 vs Delhi Daredevils, IPL 2016
Back in IPL 2016, when Bumrah was still in the initial years of his career, the young 22-year-old was looking to make an impression of his own amid several big names in the Mumbai Indians squad as well as the IPL.
Bumrah picked up 3/13 bowling his spell against a good-looking Delhi Daredevils batting lineup, where he picked the wickets of Rishabh Pant, JP Dumminy and Amit Mishra. This spell established Bumrah as one of the top pacers in the IPL.
