Following bumrah

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Star India pacer Jasprit Bumrah continues to etch his name into the Indian Premier League (IPL) history books.

In match number 41 of the ongoing IPL 2025 season, played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, Bumrah reached yet another remarkable milestone, equalling Lasith Malinga’s long-standing record for the most wickets taken for the Mumbai Indians (MI).

Bumrah, who has been the backbone of MI’s bowling attack for nearly a decade, achieved the feat with the final delivery of his spell against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), when he dismissed the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen. The wicket was his only scalp in the game, but it proved historic — it took Bumrah to 170 wickets for Mumbai Indians, the same number as the Sri Lankan legend Malinga, who had held the record since 2019.
