In a remarkable achievement, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has become Mumbai Indians’ highest wicket-taker in the history of Indian Premier League (IPL). With his four-wicket haul against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2025 on Sunday, Bumrah took his tally of IPL wickets for MI to 174. He overtook Lasith Malinga, who took 170 IPL wickets for MI.
Bumrah’s incredible feat was achieved in the 45th match of IPL 2025, where Mumbai Indians faced off against Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Indian fast bowler was at his best, taking four wickets in the match, including the wickets of LSG’s top-order batsmen. His impressive performance helped MI restrict LSG to a manageable total of 165 runs.
Bumrah’s journey to becoming MI’s highest wicket-taker in IPL history has been nothing short of remarkable. The 29-year-old pacer has been a key player for MI since his debut in 2016. In his nine-year IPL career, Bumrah has taken 174 wickets at an impressive average of 22.51 and an economy rate of 7.45. His ability to bowl at high speeds and swing the ball both ways has made him a nightmare for batsmen.
Malinga, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest bowlers in the history of the IPL, had held the record for MI’s highest wicket-taker for several years. The Sri Lankan pacer took 170 wickets for MI in 122 matches at an average of 19.32 and an economy rate of 7.14. Malinga was a key player for MI during their successful years, helping the team win five IPL titles.

Bumrah’s record-breaking performance also highlights the depth and quality of MI’s bowling attack. The team has a strong contingent of fast bowlers, including Bumrah, Mohsin Khan, and Riley Meredith. Their ability to bowl at high speeds and take wickets has been a key factor in MI’s success in the IPL.
In conclusion, Jasprit Bumrah’s achievement of becoming MI’s highest wicket-taker in IPL history is a remarkable feat.
