The 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League has been a nightmare for bowlers. However, one bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, has kept the batters quiet.

In a tournament that has seen 250 run points being breached quite easily by the likes of Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders, Bumrah has been a revelation for MI.

The Indian stalwart has been the joint-highest wicket-taker in the tournament, with 13 wickets to his name. However, it’s not just the wickets that make him the best bowler of the tournament by far; his other figures have made him a standout bowler.

While the other bowlers have given away runs plenty, Bumrah has been frugal as ever. Among all the front-line bowlers who regularly feature in the games and ball their full quota of overs, he has the best economy rate of 6.38, which is the best among bowlers who have delivered over 30 overs in the tournament.

Dayle Steyn, who was one of the most feared bowlers of his time, also agrees that Bumrah is one of the best bowlers in the tournament.

This comes after a fan commented on Steyn’s tweet, which read, “I could make a joke and say I’m glad I’m retired and no longer bowling, but… It’s always a good time to be a bowler; if you can make yourself the best, you’ll be a wanted god among mere mortals. The slayer of rampaging runs!”

Commenting on this post, a user wrote, “Just shorten it and say, ‘Be a Jasprit Bumrah.’” To this comment, the South African paceman replied with an affirmative. Confirming that Bumrah is currently in the GOD mode in IPL 2024.

Mumbai Indians might be suffering and lagging in other departments of the game, but all their problems seem to vanish when their ace bowler has the ball in hand. They will be hoping for a change in fortunes in matches to come.
