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.
