50 runs vs Australia, Hyderabad, 2022
Only once has Bumrah conceded 50-plus runs in a T20I. The right-arm seamer did so in the 2022 Hyderabad T20I against Australia. He conceded 50 runs without taking a wicket. Being invited to bat, Australia racked up 186/7 in 20 overs. Despite Bumrah's expensive spell, India won the match by six wickets (with a ball remaining). Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav smashed half-centuries.

47 runs vs West Indies, Lauderhill, 2016

As a result, the hosts posted a mammoth 245/6 in 20 overs. India, riding on KL Rahul's historic ton (110*), came close but lost by a solitary run.

45 runs vs New Zealand and Pakistan
As per ESPNcricinfo, the one against Pakistan in Dubai was Bumrah's joint third-most expensive spell in T20I cricket. He conceded 45 runs, as many as he conceded against New Zealand in the 2020 Hamilton T20I. Notably, the Indian pacer was wicketless in both these matches. Moreover, India beat the Black Caps in the one-over eliminator (Super Over).
