IPL 2024: Jasprit Bumrah surpasses Lasith Malinga for this unique record

Jasprit Bumrah became the first bowler to scalp 20 three-wicket hauls in the history of the Indian Premier League.

Mumbai Indians express pacer Jasprit Bumrah made a phenomenal return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) by picking a three-wicket haul against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Bumrah returned for Mumbai Indians in the 2024 season after missing the entire IPL 2023 due to a back injury. Bumrah picked three wickets while giving away just 14 runs in four overs against GT in their opening match of IPL 2024. Thanks to his efforts, Bumrah also became the first bowler to take as many as 20 three-wicket hauls surpassing his former teammate Lasith Malinga.
