In case you did not know, Jasprit Bumrah is from Gujarat, and his home ground is Narendra Modi Stadium. Hence, ahead of the much-anticipated World Cup final against Australia, the perception of Mohammed Shami and Shubman Gill, who represent the Gujarat Titans and are thought to know the Ahmedabad conditions better than any other players in the Indian squad, is totally wrong.
Bumrah is the one who is very familiar with the stadium and its surfaces, among other things.
Taking 18 wickets in a single World Cup campaign is not a joke, and Bumrah has already achieved this feat with an impeccable economy rate of 3.98. To shed light on this incredible consistency, the economy rate of every bowler who has taken five or more wickets this season is higher than his numbers.

But what is Jasprit Bumrah’s ODI record at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad? Are they equally impressive, or does there need to be an improvement? Let’s have a look at them.
Jasprit Bumrah's Numbers At Narendra Modi Stadium
Remember what Bumrah did at India’s only match at Narendra Modi Stadium in World Cup 2023? Well, it was against the arch-rivals Pakistan, and there Bumrah bowled with supreme power to return figures of 7-1-19-2. No wonder his performance helped him enjoy the Player of the Match award in a high-voltage clash.
It was Bumrah’s debut ODI match at Narendra Modi Stadium, and boy, the way he stood tall above everyone else says it all about his stature.
| Jasprit Bumrah in Ahmedabad (ODIs) | Matches | Wickets | Average | Economy Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| At Narendra Modi Stadium | 1 | 2 | 9.50 | 2.71 |
| Vs Australia (ODIs) | 20 | 28 | 35.03 | 5.28 |
| In ODI World Cups | 19 | 36 | 19.47 | 4.20 |
Even in Chennai against Australia, Bumrah was at his very best. The ace pacer, on a surface where spinners were getting more assistance, claimed 2/35 off his 10 overs, which included the massive wicket of Mitchell Marsh.
Brace yourselves for the Boom Boom Special at Narendra Modi Stadium.
