Jasprit Bumrah removes in-form Aiden Markram cheaply to become all-time leading wicket-taker for his franchise in MI vs LSG IPL 2025 match [Watch]

By Umesh KumarSports

Mumbai Indians (MI) ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah broke a big record during his team’s IPL 2025 match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, April 27. The pace spearhead dismissed in-form Aiden Markram for just nine runs off 11 balls, to become the all-time leading wicket-taker for MI in IPL history.

The 31-year-old broke the previous record held by Lasith Malinga, who had scalped 170 wickets in 122 matches. Bumrah achieved the feat in his 139th game.

The Indian pacer bowled a back-of-a-length ball on the leg stump in the third over of LSG’s run chase. Markram flicked it in the air but failed to time it properly, holing out to Naman Dhir at deep backward square leg.
