If there is any most dangerous bowler in all three formats of cricket, it is Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Constantly harassing the batsmen and taking wickets is one of Bumrah's habits. To score runs against them, the batsmen have to bowl papads. In such a situation, if someone says that Bumrah has not been able to take wickets in 5 consecutive matches, then it is natural to be surprised. But this is true. Mumbai Indians' veteran fast bowler Bumrah has returned empty handed in 5 consecutive matches.

The 20th match of IPL 2026 was played between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday, April 12. In this match, Bengaluru batted first and scored a big score of 240 runs. Bengaluru batsmen thrashed almost every Mumbai bowler in this match and Bumrah was also included in this. However, Bumrah was still the most economical bowler of the team and he gave 35 runs in 4 overs.

The most surprising aspect is that Bumrah did not get any wicket in this match. Bumrah once again returned empty handed. But this was not the first time in this season that he did not get any wicket. Jasprit Bumrah, one of the most successful bowlers of Mumbai, has failed in all four matches of IPL 2026 and has not taken even a single wicket in his bag yet.

Not only these four, but since the IPL 2025 season, he has returned without a wicket in 5 consecutive matches. Last year, in the second qualifier against Punjab Kings, he gave 40 runs in 4 overs but did not take any wicket. This season, Bumrah failed to take wickets against Kolkata, Delhi, Rajasthan and Bengaluru. In this way, in 5 consecutive matches, he bowled a total of 19 overs and gave away 163 runs. That means he gave runs at an economy of 8.5 and did not take any wicket.

This performance of Bumrah must be troubling Mumbai Indians and even him himself. Not only has Bumrah failed to take wickets, but the batsmen have not found much difficulty in scoring runs on him this season. Not only 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, but other batsmen have also scored runs freely against Bumrah this season, which is clearly visible in the form of increased economy rate.
