Jasprit Bumrah vs Sandeep Sharma: Indian pace duo shares remarkable record in Dream11 IPL
Jasprit Bumrah & Sandeep Sharma have been two of the top bowlers in the Dream11 IPL, who have played a huge role in the success of their sides.
Over the years, the Dream11 Indian Premier League has produced some world-class bowlers. Mumbai speedster Jasprit Bumrah is one of the top Indian pacers who came to the limelight through his exploits in the Dream11 IPL. The right-arm pacer soon broke into the Indian team and took the cricketing world by storm with his toe-crushing yorkers and sharp bouncers. There has been no looking back for Bumrah since then as he has gone on to establish himself as an indispensable part of the Indian team across all three formats.

On the other hand, Hyderabad pacer Sandeep Sharma, who made his debut in the league in 2013, the same year as Bumrah, has also been one of the tournament's leading bowler for a number of years now. However, Sandeep's performances have never been highlighted like that of Bumrah's. Both pacers are completely different from each other.
While Bumrah is known for his ability to bowl at the death, Sandeep is an out and out swing bowler who majorly bowls in the powerplay. Nonetheless, their numbers in the league are pretty similar to one another.
It will be safe to say that Sandeep is one of the most underrated bowlers in the cash-rich league and his stats certainly back the claim. Both Bumrah and Sandeep have played 90 matches in the Dream11 IPL. While Bumrah has picked up 105 wickets, Sandeep has gone on to grab 108 wickets. Sandeep's average (24.02) is slightly better than that of Bumrah's (24.22).
The Hyderabad pacer also has an edge over the Mumbai star when it comes to strike-rate. Sandeep's strike-rate it 18.6 while Bumrah's is 19.4. However, when it comes to the economy rate, Bumrah (7.46) has the upper hand over Sandeep (7.75).

Sandeep has also had a decent season so far, having bagged 13 wickets in 11 matches at an average of 24.84 and an economy rate of 7.34. In the absence of their pace department's spearhead Bhuvneshwar Kumar who was ruled out of the tournament midway due to an injury, Sandeep has stepped up and led Hyderabad's pace attack with panache.
Meanwhile, Bumrah is all set to feature in the Mumbai vs Delhi Qualifier 1 on Thursday where he will look to guide his side to a win and get them one step closer to retaining their title. On the contrary, Sandeep, who was instrumental in helping his side reach the Dream11 IPL 2020 playoffs, will look to put up an inspired performance to beat Bangalore in the Eliminator.
