The Indian Premier League is one of the most lucrative and star-studded Twenty20 competitions in world cricket. While the tournament is renowned as a paradise for big-hitting batsmen, one bowler in particular has risen above the rest to become a true match-winner – Jasprit Bumrah. Hailing from Mumbai, Bumrah has established himself as the premier death bowler in the league through his unerring accuracy and ability to deliver under intense pressure. Let us revisit some of his most memorable spells that highlight both his craft and competitive spirit.
Jasprit Bumrah vs CSK in 2019 Finals
In the 2019 IPL final against Chennai Super Kings, Bumrah sprang into action at a crucial juncture. With CSK cruising confidently at 73 for 2, the paceman triggered a collapse by removing the well-set Rayudu and Bravo in quick succession. His parsimonious four-over spell of 2 for 14 went a long way in securing Mumbai Indians their fourth title.
Jasprit Bumrah vs KKR in 2021 league match
Another glittering performance came two years later against Kolkata Knight Riders, where five wickets fell to Bumrah’s name for a miserly 10 runs. Starting from a position of strength at 136 for 3, KKR unravelled under the seamer’s brilliance.
Jasprit Bumrah vs DC in Qualifier game
Two impactful Qualifier appearances also underline Bumrah’s big-match temperament. Against Delhi Capitals in 2020, he dismissed the top four to wrest back the momentum. Mumbai went on to win by 57 runs.
Jasprit Bumrah vs KKR in 2017
In 2017 against KKR, Bumrah’s three-over stint yielded figures of 3 for 7 to restrict the opposition to a paltry 107. Time and again, theicketer has answered the call on cricket’s most consequential nights.
Jasprit Bumrah vs RCB in IPL 2020
Most recently in IPL 2020, his removal of Kohli, Dube and Padikkal against Royal Challengers Bangalore punctured their chase of 166. MI cruised to the finish line.
With each passing season, Bumrah strengthens his reputation as the IPL’s most lethal weapon. His scorching yorkers and pinpoint accuracy make him a universal favourite across the cricketing world. As his legend grows, the competition’s rich legacy will forever be enriched by one of the finest fast bowlers of the modern era.
