50 wickets at Wankhede Stadium

Bumrah attained the milestone in Match 51 versus the Kolkata Knight Riders. He also became just the fifth bowler with 50-plus wickets at a venue in the IPL. Bumrah now owns 52 wickets at 23.50 at the Wankhede Stadium.
Bumrah entered record books with a fifer
Bumrah was on fire against Royal Challengers Bengaluru as he took a five-wicket haul.
