He is also the second uncapped Indian to aggregate over 400 runs in the debut season, after Iyer in 2015. Interestingly, he has scored the second-most runs in the powerplay this season (232), after KL Rahul (257).

Jasprit Bumrah joins the 100-club: Bumrah managed to get rid of his national skipper Virat Kohli tonight. Consequently, he claimed his 100th wicket in the tournament to date, as he has become the 16th player to enter the 100-wicket club. It was also his 200th T20 wicket. Incidentally, his maiden IPL wicket, too, happened to be of Kohli.

Bumrah claims the most in 17th: During the 17th over of the RCB innings, Bumrah managed to claim a couple of wickets, besides bowling a maiden, as he finished with figures of 3/14. In the process, he has claimed the joint second-most wickets in the very over of the competition, to date. Together, with his MI teammate Lasith Malinga, he has claimed 14 wickets in the over. The record for the same is held by Dale Steyn (15).

Meanwhile, he also became the highest scorer this season at the venue of Abu Dhabi, as he has scored more than 320 runs, so far.
