- Third bowler (150) with the most IPL wickets for a single team after Lasith Malinga (170 wickets - MI) and Sunil Narine (166 wickets - KKR).

The upcoming opponent of the Mumbai Indians talisman is Royal Challengers Bengaluru. As history would state, RCB has been a lucky foe for Bumrah as the Indian pacer registered his maiden, 50th and 100th IPL wicket against them. Coupled with the fact that he is MI’s leading wicket-taker against RCB in the IPL (24 wickets in 18 innings), the Paltan can expect BOOM BOOM to do what he does best - bowl with tight lines, give no room for runs, target the opposition batters’ stumps and power the MUM-boys to their second win of IPL 2024!
