About Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah , born on December 6, 1993 , in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is arguably the most skilled fast bowler India has ever produced. Known for his unorthodox action, late release, and pinpoint accuracy, Bumrah has redefined fast bowling across formats. From being a yorker specialist to mastering swing, seam, and reverse swing, he operates on a different plane, making him indispensable for India.
Domestic Cricket – The Foundation of Greatness
- Early Career:
Bumrah’s journey began with Gujarat in domestic cricket. He excelled in the Ranji Trophy and topped the bowling charts in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (2015–16) , showcasing his ability to dominate with pace and precision. - Breakthrough Performance:
His consistent performances in domestic white-ball tournaments caught the attention of IPL scouts, leading to his inclusion in the Mumbai Indians squad ahead of IPL 2013.
Bumrah’s adaptability and knack for delivering under pressure laid the groundwork for his meteoric rise in international cricket.
Indian Premier League (IPL) – Mumbai Indians’ Bowling Backbone
- Debut and Growth:
- Spotted by Mumbai Indians after just one season of domestic T20 cricket, Bumrah was signed as an uncapped player ahead of IPL 2013.
- Played sparingly in his debut season but quickly became a key figure in MI’s success.
- Five-Time Champions:
- Bumrah has been instrumental in Mumbai Indians’ five IPL titles (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020 ).
- Took 20 wickets in 2017 , 19 in 2019 , and a staggering 27 wickets in 2020 , emerging as the team’s highest wicket-taker in three title-winning seasons.
- Milestone Achievements:
- First IPL wicket: Virat Kohli (2013).
- 100th IPL wicket: Virat Kohli (2020).
- Second-highest wicket-taker for MI after Lasith Malinga.
Bumrah’s lethal yorkers, variations, and death-bowling mastery make him one of the most feared bowlers in the IPL.
International Cricket – Redefining Fast Bowling
- White-Ball Debut (2016):
- Made his international debut during India’s tour of Australia, finishing as the highest wicket-taker in the T20I series (India won 3-0).
- Quickly established himself as a mainstay in India’s ODI and T20I setups.
- Test Debut (2018):
- Debuted in South Africa, taking a five-wicket haul in Johannesburg in his third Test, helping India pull the series back to 2-1.
- Followed it up with 14 wickets in England and a historic performance in Australia, where his 6/33 and 3/53 in Melbourne played a pivotal role in India’s first-ever Test series win Down Under.
- Record-Breaking Feats:
- Became the first bowler in Test history to take 200 wickets at an average of under 20 within seven years of his debut.
- In the 2024 Test series against Australia, took 32 wickets at 13.06 , nearly dragging India to victory despite injuries.
- MVP of India’s T20 World Cup-winning campaign in 2024 , taking nine wickets in the Visakhapatnam Test against England (19 wickets overall in the series).
Bumrah’s ability to dominate across formats—be it swinging the new ball, reversing the old ball, or delivering pinpoint yorkers—makes him a generational talent.
Personal Life – Humility Beyond Success
Off the field, Jasprit Bumrah is known for his humility and grounded nature. Despite his global fame, he remains deeply connected to his roots and family. Married to Sanjana Ganesan , a former sports journalist, Bumrah balances his professional commitments with personal life seamlessly. His journey from a young boy with an unconventional action to becoming India’s pace spearhead serves as an inspiration to aspiring cricketers worldwide.
Playing Style – The Art of Precision and Variation

Bumrah’s unique action, with a low-arm release and high pace (140–145 kph), makes it difficult for batters to pick his deliveries. - Variations Galore:
Masters of the yorker , bumper , slower balls , and reverse swing , he can dismantle batting lineups in any format. - Death-Bowling Specialist:
Renowned for his ability to deliver under pressure, Bumrah is lethal in the death overs, often sealing matches with his precision.

- Records and Achievements:
- First Indian bowler to take five-wicket hauls in South Africa, England, Australia, and West Indies .
