Bumrah ends wicketless drought in MI's 6th IPL match

Ahmedabad, Apr 20 (UNI) The prolonged wicketless stretch endured by Jasprit Bumrah in IPL 2026 places him among a small group of elite bowlers who have experienced similar droughts in T20 cricket, as per data.
In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Bumrah’s run of 146 balls without a wicket is among the longest by a frontline bowler. Records indicate that such extended barren spells, though rare, have also been seen with bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rashid Khan, both of whom have gone through phases of over 100 deliveries without a breakthrough despite being consistent performers.
The breakthrough came in emphatic fashion as Bumrah struck with the very first ball of his spell, dismissing Sai Sudharsan. Bowling full and shaping the ball away from the left-hander, he induced a drive, only for the edge to be taken at point, with Sudharsan departing for a first-ball duck.
