Sports News: In the 56th match of IPL 2025, when Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans faced off at the Wankhede Stadium, all eyes were on Jasprit Bumrah. Once again, this veteran fast bowler astonished cricket fans with his performance. Although Mumbai Indians didn't win the match, Jasprit Bumrah achieved a historic milestone that remains a distant dream for other bowlers. He became the first bowler in IPL history to bowl the most dot balls in death overs (16th to 20th overs).
Bumrah: A Role Model for Bowlers
In this match, Bumrah conceded only 19 runs in 4 overs and took 2 crucial wickets. However, what truly sets him apart is his accuracy and control in the death overs. In this match, he bowled 15 dot balls, including 6 in the death overs, surpassing the historic mark of 400 dot balls in death overs. This achievement had never been reached by any other bowler before.
Following Bumrah on this list are Bhuvneshwar Kumar (365), Dwayne Bravo (345), Lasith Malinga (323), and Sunil Narine (279), but all are significantly behind Bumrah. This clearly demonstrates Bumrah's consistency and his game-changing role for his team in the final overs.

Mumbai's Loss, Bumrah's Win
In this match played at Wankhede, Mumbai Indians, batting first, scored 155 runs for 8 wickets. No batsman scored a big score, but a collective effort helped the team reach a respectable total. Gujarat's innings started shakily when Bumrah dismissed Sai Sudarshan in his very first over. Following this, a 72-run partnership between captain Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler stabilized Gujarat's innings.
Rain interrupted the match, and after the interruption, Bumrah returned to dismiss Shubman Gill and Shahrukh Khan. Trent Boult dismissed Sharfane Rutherford, igniting hopes of a Mumbai comeback. However, when the match resumed, Gujarat needed 15 runs from one over according to the Duckworth-Lewis method. Gill's team achieved this target on the last ball of the 19th over, winning by three wickets.
