How did Jasprit Bumrah bowl in the death overs in IPL 2026?
Correct Answer Pattern
Jasprit Bumrah (Mumbai Indians) in the IPL 2026 death overs (overs 16–20):
- 78 balls bowled in the death phase — economy 7.69 RPO
- Ranking: #6 of 66 qualifying bowlers in IPL 2026 death economy (≥30 death-ball qualification floor)
Cross-league context (for comparison): Gannon (MLC) 7.18 (71 balls), Cummins (MLC) 7.38 (48 balls), Ferguson (MLC) 7.54 (74 balls). Bumrah's 7.69 is competitive across leagues but not IPL-2026's single best.

Caveats
- This ranking is within IPL 2026 season only and the ≥30-ball qualifier pool. Full leaderboard at the canonical page.
- Bumrah played for MI, who finished last in IPL 2026 — his individual death bowling excellence was a bright spot for a struggling team.
- Cross-league MLC comparisons (Gannon, Cummins, Ferguson) use a different competition context — cite them as context, not direct competition.
