INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Jasprit Bumrah, a name synonymous with innovation in cricket, has consistently troubled batsmen around the world with his unorthodox bowling action and hyperextended elbows. His unique style has set him apart in the crowded arena of fast bowlers, making him a formidable opponent on the pitch. Bumrah’s journey in cricket began in earnest when he made his Under-19 debut for Gujarat in December 2011. This pivotal moment marked the start of a career that would soon see him rise through the ranks of Indian cricket.
In the 2013-14 domestic season, Bumrah showcased his potential by taking seven wickets in his debut first-class match against Vidarbha. Shortly thereafter, at the tender age of 19, he made his mark in the Indian Premier League (IPL), debuting against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. It was during the 2013–14 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy that Mumbai Indians’ coach John Wright recognized his talent, leading to an invitation to join the franchise. His first IPL wicket was none other than cricketing legend Virat Kohli; after being hit for three boundaries in his first four deliveries, Bumrah managed to dismiss him on the fifth, marking an unforgettable moment in his nascent career.
Bumrah’s rise continued as he became the second-fastest Indian bowler to reach 100 One Day International (ODI) wickets, achieving this remarkable milestone in just 57 matches. Personal milestones in his life also unfolded, as he met his future wife, Sanjana Ganesan, during the 2013 IPL while she was conducting an interview. However, his career was not without challenges. During the 2015–16 Vijay Hazare Trophy, umpires controversially labeled his bowling action as illegal. This debate was eventually resolved, and Bumrah played a crucial role in leading Gujarat to victory in the tournament, taking five wickets in the final against Delhi.
Bumrah’s prowess was further highlighted during the 2016 ICC T20 World Cup, where he took a wicket in every match except against Bangladesh. His first significant Test achievement came in 2018 when he secured his maiden five-wicket haul against South Africa. His excellence did not go unnoticed, as he was included in the Forbes Celebrity 100 list in both 2018 and 2019, a testament to his growing popularity and success. Over the years, he has been instrumental in Mumbai Indians’ victories, contributing to their IPL triumphs in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020.
Bumrah continued to break records, notably during India’s tour of Australia in 2020, where he scored his maiden first-class half-century against Australia A with an impressive 55 not out. In 2022, he surpassed Kapil Dev to become the bowler with the most wickets in a Test series against England, achieving a remarkable 23 wickets. His ability to bowl yorkers was honed under the mentorship of Sri Lankan great Lasith Malinga. In a record-breaking performance on July 2, 2022, Bumrah scored 29 runs off Stuart Broad in a single over, surpassing Brian Lara’s previous record of 28 runs. His average bowling speed hovers around 142 km/h, with a top recorded delivery of 153 km/h.
Bumrah’s accolades continued into 2024, where he made history as the fastest bowler to reach 150 Test wickets in just 34 matches, breaking a 110-year-old record previously held by Kapil Dev. That same year, he claimed a notable five-wicket haul against Royal Challengers Bangalore, becoming the first bowler to achieve this feat against the franchise, while also being the third Indian fast bowler to secure two five-wicket hauls in the IPL. His contributions were crucial in leading India to victory in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, where he recorded 15 wickets at an exceptional average of 8.26. Following this achievement, Bumrah and his teammates were honored with a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, showcasing the significance of their triumph on the world stage. However, in December 2024, during commentary, Isa Guha mistakenly referred to Bumrah as “The Most Valuable Primate,” a comment she later retracted, emphasizing the scrutiny that accompanies fame in the sport.
