Jasprit Bumrah Birthday - Records and Achievements in career

Born on December 6, 1993, Jasprit Bumrah first broke into the national scene in 2016. Following his brilliant bowling performances for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Indian selectors called him up and ever since, he became India’s most lethal weapon in the pace setup.

His unorthodox action grabbed everyone’s attention and it made the batters difficult to read his deliveries. With Lasith Malinga by his side in Mumbai colours, Bumrah mastered the art of death bowling and has become captain’s go-to bowler in any format of the game.
