Over the years Jasprit Bumrah has established himself as one of the premium fast bowlers not just in the country but also in the world. From his IPL debut in 2013 to making his Test debut in January 2018, Bumrah has been a thorn in the side of many opposition teams. Bumrah made his impressive IPL debut at the age of 19 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2013.
From the very beginning, Bumrah showed promise in his bowling as he had both pace and swing. He got three wickets for 32 runs in his debut match at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Bumrah's first wicket in the IPL was none other than that of RCB and Indian captain Virat Kohli. His other wickets were that of Mayank Agarwal and Karun Nair. As a result, Bumrah became only the second bowler on the side to get three wickets on his debut.
