Mini bio
How it started.
Bumrah grew up in Ahmedabad and began playing regularly through summer cricket camps. In 2013 he represented Gujarat in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, taking 3/14 in the final against Punjab as Gujarat won the title. Mumbai Indians coach John Wright spotted him in domestic T20 cricket and the IPL opportunity followed.
The first big stage.
At 19, he took three wickets on his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians. Virat Kohli was his first IPL wicket. Bumrah later recalled how surreal it felt to join a dressing room containing Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting and Anil Kumble.
His own way of bowling.
That short run-up and unusual action grew out of experimenting with tennis-ball cricket and copying bowlers he watched on television. He has said his coaches let him keep the action, while encouraging him to strengthen his body. Lasith Malinga became an important source of advice as he developed.
World Cup moments.
He took 15 wickets in India’s victorious 2024 T20 World Cup campaign and won Player of the Tournament. Two years later, his 4/15 in the final against New Zealand helped India retain the title, this time earning him Player of the Match in Ahmedabad.
