Skechers, the Comfort Technology Company®, has added another cricketing icon to its elite lineup—Jasprit Bumrah. Known for his lightning-fast pace and unmatched precision, the India National Team and Mumbai Indians bowler will now compete in Skechers Cricket footwear and feature in brand campaigns promoting both performance and lifestyle collections.

With this partnership, Bumrah joins fellow cricket stars Ishan Kishan and Yastika Bhatia, who have already been making their mark in Skechers footwear. Skechers further strengthened its presence in the cricketing world by becoming the official kit sponsor of Mumbai Indians, cementing its role as a major player in sports culture.

Jasprit Bumrah: A Trailblazer in World Cricket

Since his debut in 2014, Bumrah has redefined fast bowling across all formats. In 2024, he surpassed 400 international wickets, became the first bowler to hold the No. 1 ranking across Tests, ODIs, and T20s, and was named Player of the Series in India’s historic 2024 World Cup triumph. His exceptional career also includes being the first Asian bowler to take five-wicket hauls in South Africa, England, and Australia within the same calendar year (2018). A recipient of the BCCI Polly Umrigar Awards (2018-19 & 2021-22), Bumrah was most recently honored with the prestigious Sir Garfield Sobers Award for ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year 2024. As a Mumbai Indians stalwart, he has played a pivotal role in the team’s five IPL title wins, solidifying his status as one of cricket’s greatest performers.

Expressing his excitement, Bumrah shared, “I joined the Skechers family because they seamlessly blend comfort with cutting-edge innovation. As a bowler, performance without compromising on style is key, and Skechers delivers exactly that.”

Rahul Vira, CEO of Skechers South Asia Pvt. Ltd., echoed the sentiment, stating, “Jasprit Bumrah’s relentless pursuit of excellence aligns perfectly with Skechers’ commitment to innovation and performance. Our team of athletes showcases how #ComfortThatPerforms can enhance any player’s game, regardless of their level.”
