183 wickets in a twelve year long and successful career. Still, the amount of happiness, peace and relief that Jasprit Bumrah would have got from his 184th wicket, he would hardly have got from so many previous successes. Amidst the failure of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026, the repeated failure of the team's most important bowler Bumrah was also a topic of discussion. After all, he was returning empty handed from 6 consecutive IPL matches. But Bumrah ended this drought in his 7th match.
Batting first, Mumbai Indians made a big score of 199 runs against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. To defend this score, it needed a strong performance from its bowlers also. Especially it was necessary for star pacer Jasprit Bumrah to return to form and ultimately this is what happened. Bumrah's 145-ball long wait ended by taking a wicket on the very first ball of Gujarat's innings.
Bumrah was bowled the first over in this match and all eyes were on him whether this time his wait for a wicket would end or he would move ahead. But on the very first ball, he got Gujarat's star opener Sai Sudarshan caught by the covers fielder. As soon as the fielder took the catch, the noise of the fans in the stadium increased, while all the Mumbai players ran straight towards Bumrah. Captain Hardik Pandya especially hugged his star bowler tightly.
