After his father’s death, it was Bumrah’s mother, professionally a principle who single-handedly raised her children.

He showed some promise in his bowling with some pace and swing, he has impressed many in the IPL with his bowling figures, in his debut match of IPL 2013 he took 3 wickets for 32 runs against the Royal Challengers Banglore.
