Jasprit Bumrah’s cricketing career took a massive leap when he was spotted by the then Gujarat coach, Kiran More. His raw talent earned him a spot in Gujarat's team, and soon he started making waves with his fast, aggressive bowling. He impressed everyone with his deadly yorkers, which became his signature weapon.

Debut in Domestic Cricket

IPL Journey
Bumrah's rise in the IPL was rapid. Playing for MI, he made an immediate impact as a death bowler, a role where he was extremely difficult to face in the final overs of a T20 match. Over the years, he became one of the key figures in MI’s success, winning multiple IPL titles.

Bumrah has been one of the standout performers for Mumbai Indians, consistently contributing to their successes with his precise yorkers, swing, and pace.

Bumrah became India's most reliable bowler across all formats, often handling the pressure situations during key moments in a game, whether it’s the final overs in limited-overs cricket or the crucial spells in Test matches.
