Bumrah sets new T20 landmark, becomes first Indian fast bowler to achieve this feat

Mumbai Indians may have tasted their 10th loss of IPL 2022 at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad this time on Tuesday (May 17), but it was a night to remember for their leading pacer Jasprit Bumrah.

SRH pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who bowled a sensational first wicket in the 19th over of the game against MI, is the next best Indian pacer with 223 scalps, while Bumrah’s MI teammate Jaydev Unadkat also has 201 wickets.
