Jasprit Skala Bumraは300をサポートしています

Jasprit Bumrah is a once in a generation bowler. One of the finest of his craft, the Mumbai Indians pacer has managed to carve his own legacy over the years. And such is the 30-year-old’s proclivity for records, Bumrah smashed a few more even on a rather off day in the SRH vs MI clash in Hyderabad.

Bumrah dismissed the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen with the final ball of his spell on Wednesday. The Proteas ace thus became his 300th scalp in T20 cricket. Bumrah is only the second Indian pacer after Bhuvneshwar Kumar to the milestone. Overall he’s 5th, joining Ravichandran Ashwi, Yuzvendra Chahal and Piyush Chawla in the list.

Jasprit now has 170 wickets in 138 IPL games, the same as Lasith Malinga, who had the same in 122 games. Malinga however, has 195 wickets for MI, with 25 of those coming in the now defunct Champions League T20. It also makes him joint second in the list for most wickets with a single franchise in the IPL. Only Sunil Narine (187) for KKR has more wickets for a single IPL team than Bumrah. Overall, the 31-year-old is a joint ninth in IPL history for most wickets.
