Jasprit Bumrah / Bad news for Mumbai Indians, this player will be out for the next so many matches

Jasprit Bumrah: Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is out of the initial phase of IPL 2025. He is out of the Indian team due to an injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and now his return to the IPL after the Champions Trophy 2025 is also postponed. According to reports, he will also not be able to play against Lucknow Super Giants (April 4) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (April 7).

Bumrah close to fitness test

Bumrah is undergoing rehab at the BCCI Center of Excellence in Bengaluru due to a back problem. He is believed to be close to passing the fitness test, but is still awaiting approval from the BCCI medical team. He is expected to return to the field soon, but his absence in the upcoming two matches of Mumbai Indians will be a big setback for the team.

Mumbai Indians will miss Bumrah

Bumrah's record in IPL has been excellent. He has taken more than 165 wickets while playing for Mumbai Indians so far. His accurate yorkers and death overs bowling pose a challenge for any batsman. In such a situation, his absence can weaken Mumbai's bowling, especially when the team is already performing mixed.

Mumbai Indians are relying on new bowlers

Mumbai Indians are going through ups and downs this season. Suryakumar Yadav took over the command of the team after captain Hardik Pandya did not play in the first match. Now due to Bumrah's absence, the team has given a chance to young bowlers like Vigresh Puthur and Ashwini Kumar, who have performed well so far. Mumbai Indians have played three matches so far, including one win and one loss.

All eyes are on when Bumrah will return. If he passes the fitness test, he can soon take the field for Mumbai Indians after getting the approval of BCCI.
