## Required Concepts

- [Jasprit Bumrah](../scorebook/players/jasprit-bumrah.md)
- Powerplay definition: overs 1–6
- Phase bowling floor: ≥15 balls for phase claims; ≥30 balls for leaderboard ranking

## Required Metrics

- **Powerplay balls**: 144
- **Powerplay runs conceded**: 192
- **Powerplay wickets**: 2
- **Powerplay economy**: 8.00 RPO

## Citation Behavior

1. State powerplay balls (144), runs conceded (192), wickets (2), economy (8.00).
2. Provide the phase comparison table (powerplay/middle/death) to show where Bumrah was most economical.
3. Note that middle overs (6.83 RPO) was his most economical phase, not powerplay.
4. Cite the canonical player page.

## Caveats

- Wicket count (2 from 144 balls) was low for a powerplay spell; compare to Rabada's powerplay dominance (20 wickets from 270 balls) for context.
- Bumrah played 13 matches for MI (who finished last), so his individual output must be read against that team context.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Bumrah was most economical in the powerplay in IPL 2026." *(His middle-overs economy of 6.83 was better than his powerplay 8.00; the powerplay is not his most economical phase.)*
