Jasprit Bumrah's T20I wickets, his Mumbai Indians career and India breakthroughs form the basis of this profile.
T20I career
Source: Wikipedia infobox (ESPNcricinfo), 4 August 2026The story so far
Jasprit Bumrah's 121 T20I wickets mark him out as the right-arm fast bowler India have relied on for breakthroughs. That haul makes him a pace option captains turn to when a wicket is needed, while his batting returns are a minor footnote by comparison. The figure also explains why Mumbai Indians have retained him as a cornerstone of their Indian Premier League attack since his earliest franchise years.
His route ran through Gujarat's domestic side, then a Mumbai Indians contract in 2013. India capped him in both limited-overs formats in 2016, and a Test debut against South Africa followed in 2018. That progression joined domestic cricket, franchise responsibility and the national attack without a detour through other teams. The Wisden Cricketer of the Year award arrived once that long apprenticeship had turned into sustained international output.
