Jasprit Bumrah debuted in the IPL for the Mumbai Indians and quickly created an impact through his unorthodox bowling action. In his first season with the franchise in 2013, he only played 2 matches and picked up 3 wickets.

The next two seasons were pretty ordinary for the right-arm pacer. Bumrah's breakthrough year came in 2016 when he picked up 15 wickets in 14 matches. In 2017, he took 20 wickets in 16 games. The seamer was fast-tracked into the Indian team and is now a regular feature across all three formats.
Today, Bumrah is considered as one of the best death-overs bowlers in white-ball cricket. He is currently ranked as the number one bowler in ODIs and has also had an impressive start to his Test career as well. There’s no doubt that the IPL has attributed to much of his success over the years.

Sunil is a pro wrestling journalist, covering AEW and WWE news stories at Sportskeeda. He holds an MBA degree in Marketing, and has nearly 7 years of experience. A wrestling aficionado since childhood, Sunil used to imitate his favorite wrestlers as a young kid, and started writing professionally about the sport via Sportskeeda’s revenue-sharing opportunity.
Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
