His father, Jasbir Singh, ran a chemical business, while his mother, Daljeet Bumrah, worked as a school teacher. Tragically, his father passed away when Jasprit was just five years old due to hepatitis B. Raised by his mother, Bumrah grew up in a middle-class environment alongside his sister, Juhika. He attended Nirman High School in Vastrapur, Ahmedabad, where his mother worked as the vice principal, and played cricket for the school team.

Bumrah made his T20 debut for Gujarat in the 2012-13 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He played a crucial role in helping his team clinch the title, earning the Man of the Match award in the final with figures of 3/14 against Punjab. His performance caught attention of John Wright, then the head coach of Mumbai Indians, who signed him for the IPL franchise in 2013.
In first-class cricket, Bumrah debuted against Vidarbha during the 2013-14 Ranji Trophy season, where he took seven wickets for 89 runs. Despite facing questions about his bowling action during the 2015-16 Vijay Hazare Trophy, Bumrah proved his mettle, taking a five-wicket haul in the final to secure Gujarat’s victory. He scored his maiden first-class half-century in 2020 against Australia A.
