Mumbai Indians pacer and Sunrisers Hyderabad counterpart Bhuvneshwar Kumar are in a tussle to create a massive record in the Indian Premier League
The two pacers have been with their franchises for a long time and are instrumental in the wins for the two teams
Bumrah made his IPL debut for MI in 2013, while Bhuvi got his first cap for the now-defunct Pune Warriors India in 2011 before shifting to SRH in 2014
The two pacers are eyeing to create a record that no Indian has managed to accomplish
Bhuvi and Bumrah are in a fight to become the first Indian player to take 150 wickets for a single team in the IPL
Bumrah has picked 148 wickets for MI in 123 matches since 2013, while Bhuvneshwar is behind with 146 scalps in 132 games since 2014
There are only two players, although overseas, who have taken 150 snares for a single side
MI's Lasith Malinga took 170 scalps in his illustrious career for them, while Sunil Narine has accounted for 166 wickets for KKR
In IPL 2024, Bumrah has taken three wickets in three games, while Bhuvi is yet to open his mark in three outings
