Mohammed Siraj vs Jasprit Bumrah - comparing their stats after 97 IPL matches

Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah are two of India's best fast bowlers going around at present. In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Siraj is representing the Gujarat Titans (GT), while Bumrah is a part of the Mumbai Indians (MI).

Siraj has had a solid start to the IPL 2025 season. After being released by his former franchise, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), and being dropped from India's 2025 Champions Trophy squad, the pacer seems to be on a redemption path. He has bagged nine wickets from four games already at an average of 13.77 and an economy rate of 7.75.

Jasprit Bumrah, meanwhile, has been out of action since the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after sustaining a serious injury during the fifth Test in Sydney. He missed the Champions Trophy and did not start the IPL 2025 season for MI either. However, he is set to return to the field and is likely to play in their upcoming clash against RCB on Monday, April 7.

That said, here is a comparison of the stats of Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah in the IPL after 97 matches.
