Jasprit Jasbirsingh Bumrah (born 6 December 1993) is an Indian international cricketer who plays for the Indian cricket team in all formats of the game. A right-arm fast bowler with a unique bowling action, Bumrah is widely regarded as one of the best bowlers in the world and one of the greatest fast bowlers India has ever produced.[4] He plays for Gujarat in domestic cricket and for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Bumrah was a crucial member of the Indian team that won the 2024 T20 World Cup, where he was named the player of the tournament for his consistent wicket taking in all phases whilst maintaining an excellent economy of 4.17.

Bumrah is the fastest Indian pacer to take 150 wickets in Test cricket and the second fastest Indian bowler to reach 100 wickets in One Day International (ODI) cricket. He is the first bowler to have achieved the number one ranking in the ICC men's player rankings in all three formats of the game. He also holds the record of scoring the highest number of runs in an over in Test cricket. He achieved this feat against Stuart Broad

Bumrah made his domestic debut in 2012–13 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and also helped his side clinch its maiden title victory. His first-class debut came against Vidarbha, during the 2013–14 season of the Ranji Trophy. Bumrah was signed by the Mumbai Indians (MI) for the 2013 season of the IPL. Since then, he has played for MI, contributing to the team's title wins five times. He is the second-highest wicket-taker for MI, behind Lasith Malinga, with 165 wickets in 133 matches.

Bumrah made his international debut in January 2016 during India's tour of Australia, where he emerged as the highest wicket-taker of the Twenty20 International (T20I) series. In 2016, he was the highest wicket-taker in a calendar year in T20I cricket, with 28 wickets. He made his Test debut in 2018 against South Africa. Since December 2023, he has served as the vice-captain of the Indian team in Test cricket and has also captained the team once in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma. He was named in the ICC Men's Test Team of the Year in 2018 and the ICC Men's ODI Team of the Year in 2017 and 2018. Additionally, he was named in the ICC Men's T20I Team of the Decade for 2011–2020. Bumrah was awarded the Polly Umrigar Award by the BCCI twice, in 2018–19 and 2021–22. He was also named in the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 2022.
