Jasprit Bumrah Scripts History, Breaks Lasith Malinga's Long-Standing IPL Record

Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah breathed fire with the ball on Sunday as the side registered an easy 54-run win over Lucknow Super Giants in their IPL 2025 match at Wankhede Stadium. Bumrah returned figures of 4 for 22 in his quota of four overs as MI registered their fifth consecutive win in the edition. The right-arm pacer registered a new record with his performance. He became the highest wicket-taker for MI in IPL history with 174 wickets, going past Lasith Malinga's 170.

Bumrah and Trent Boult (3/20) shone with the ball after Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav struck attacking half-centuries for MI.

After Rickelton (58) and Suryakumar Yadav (54) helped MI post 215 for 7 on being asked to bat first, Bumrah and Boult led the brilliant performance by the bowlers as LSG were bundled out for 161 in 20 overs. This is the first win for Mumbai Indians over LSG in the league phase, which came in seven matches.

With this win, MI moved up to the second spot behind Gujarat Titans, joining Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on 12 points. The winner of the DC vs RCB match being played in New Delhi can overtake them and move atop the table with 14 points.

It was a clinical performance by the five-time champions as Bumrah and Boult claimed five wickets for 21 runs to hasten the end for Lucknow Super Giants. Bumrah weaved his magic in the death overs, claiming three wickets in one eventful over.

Boult was no less impressive. Given short spells, he struck every time he was brought into attack, wrapping up the innings by castling Digvesh Rathi on the last ball of the match.

Bumrah, who came in as Impact Substitute in place of Rohit Sharma, struck the first blow for Mumbai Indians in the third over as Aiden Markram
