7 prominent cricketers who owe part of their success to IPL

#5 Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah debuted in the IPL for the Mumbai Indians and quickly created an impact through his unorthodox bowling action. In his first season with the franchise in 2013, he only played 2 matches and picked up 3 wickets.

The next two seasons were pretty ordinary for the right-arm pacer. Bumrah's breakthrough year came in 2016 when he picked up 15 wickets in 14 matches. In 2017, he took 20 wickets in 16 games. The seamer was fast-tracked into the Indian team and is now a regular feature across all three formats.

Today, Bumrah is considered as one of the best death-overs bowlers in white-ball cricket. He is currently ranked as the number one bowler in ODIs and has also had an impressive start to his Test career as well. There’s no doubt that the IPL has attributed to much of his success over the years.
