Mumbai Indians and Team India ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah surpassed veteran Indian spinner Amit Mishra's tally to become the seventh highest wicket taker in Indian Premier League (IPL) history on Thursday (May 1).

Bumrah climbed up the charts and closed in on a West Indies and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) great Dwayne Bravo during his side's IPL 2025 clash against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

During the RR vs MI game, Bumrah delivered an impactful spell of 2/15 in four overs. In the powerplay, he gave a much-needed breather to Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar, two other pacers, by getting two crucial wickets of RR skipper Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer in his over.

In his only over inside the powerplay, Bumrah delivered a telling blow to the home as they lost half their side. With this latest two scalps, Bumrah, MI's leading wicket-taker, is now in the seventh spot on the all-time IPL wicket-takers charts with 176 scalps in 140 matches.

Bumrah stats further reac at an average of 22.21, with an economy rate of 7.28 and best figures of 5/10. He has taken two five-wicket hauls. He is now above Amit Mishra, who took 174 scalps in 162 matches at an average of 23.82.

The top wicket-taker in the history of the IPL is Yuzvendra Chahal, currently playing for Punjab Kings (PBKS), with 218 wickets in 170 matches at an average of 22.36, economy rate of 7.91, and best figures of 5/40. Here is a look at the top 10 wicket-takers in IPL history:
