As the team won its first three matches, the reserves were given a chance in the fourth match, and Bumrah took seven wickets making good impressions. In 2012, Bumrah made his T20 debut for Gujarat in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Maharashtra. His best performance of 3 for 14 in the final against Punjab helped his team win the title, and he was adjudged Man of the Match.

He made his IPL debut on April 4, 2013, against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, taking 3 for 32 despite MI losing by just 2 runs. That made Bumrah the second IPL bowler to have taken three wickets in his debut match. Later that year, Bumrah made his first-class debut for Gujarat in the Ranji Trophy, taking seven wickets for 89 runs against Vidarbha. His domestic career was hit by a bump in the 2015-16 Vijay Hazare Trophy with umpires reporting his bowling action. All ended well after the team's protest and Gujarat went on to win the trophy with Bumrah taking five wickets in the final against Delhi.
