In match number 41 of the ongoing IPL 2025 season, played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, Bumrah reached yet another remarkable milestone, equalling Lasith Malinga\u2019s long-standing record for the most wickets taken for the Mumbai Indians (MI).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bumrah, who has been the backbone of MI\u2019s bowling attack for nearly a decade, achieved the feat with the final delivery of his spell against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), when he dismissed the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen. The wicket was his only scalp in the game, but it proved historic \u2014 it took Bumrah to 170 wickets for Mumbai Indians, the same number as the Sri Lankan legend Malinga, who had held the record since 2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The match marked Bumrah\u2019s 138th IPL appearance for MI, compared to Malinga\u2019s 122. With MI opting for a rotation policy with their bowlers this season, Bumrah has been used strategically in key moments, and his consistency continues to pay off.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Following Bumrah and Malinga, Harbhajan Singh ranks third in MI\u2019s all-time wicket-takers list with 127 scalps, while Mitchell McClenaghan (71) and Kieron Pollard (69) round out the top five.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
