In the history of IPL, Jasprit Bumrah from the Mumbai Indians has added another first. He shattered the existing record by Lasith Malinga on April 27 while taking on Lucknow Super Giants at Wankhede Stadium. After taking the wicket of Aiden Markram during the second inn, Bumrah became the sixth bowler, with 171 wickets behind MI. Before this match, he was tied with Malinga on the number of wickets taken at 170.
The following are the highest wicket-takers for the Mumbai Indians in IPL history:
- Jasprit Bumrah: 171 wickets
- Lasith Malinga: 170 wickets
- Harbhajan Singh: 127 wickets
- Mitchell McClenaghan: 71 wickets

Earlier in the game, MI batted first and banging 215 runs, assisted by Ryan Rickelton quickly smashing a fast 58 off just 32 balls and the contributions of Suryakumar Yadav, who capitalized 54 off 28 balls, while Naman Dhir and Corbin Bosch rounded off the scoring.
Suryakumar Yadav in the same match crossed the 4000-run mark in his IPL career, making him the fastest Indian to reach the landmark in terms of balls faced.

This eclipses the previous record of Suresh Raina, making him, overall, the third fastest player to reach 4000 runs in the IPL.
