Jasprit Bumrah News: A big news has come out during IPL 2025, which can become a matter of concern for Mumbai Indians fans and team management. India's star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah's return may be delayed. It was initially speculated that Bumrah would not be able to play in the first three matches of the tournament, but now it is being speculated that his return may take longer.Doubt over Bumrah's returnAccording to media reports, Bumrah will not take the field for at least the next one week in the current IPL season. This delay can have a big impact on the bowling attack of Mumbai Indians. Bumrah was injured during the Australia tour last year and has not played any competitive cricket since then. He is out of the field due to the injury he suffered during the Sydney Test in January.Akash Deep's return also delayedApart from Bumrah, the return of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) fast bowler Akash Deep may also be delayed. Akash Deep is expected to return to the team by next week, but until he is fully fit, LSG's bowling attack will remain inexperienced. Akash Deep's absence may put additional pressure on the other bowlers of the team.BCCI's medical team vigilantAccording to a Times of India report, the BCCI medical team does not want to take any risk with Bumrah, as India has to play a five-match Test series against England after the IPL. It is expected that Bumrah will not play all the Test matches during the entire tour, but plans are being made to include him in at least two or three Tests.According to a senior BCCI official, Bumrah's injury may be more serious than expected. The medical team wants to ensure that he returns only after getting fully fit. No fixed timeline has been set for his return yet, but it is expected that he can return to the field by mid-April. At the same time, Akash Deep is expected to return by April 10.Mumbai Indians need BumrahMumbai Indians have played three matches so far in the current season, out of which they have won only one. The team is missing Bumrah's absence, because without him the bowling attack of Mumbai Indians looks weak. Now the team will play its next match on April 4 against Lucknow Super Giants at Lucknow's home ground. In this match, Mumbai bowlers will have to work extra hard, because the opposition team will also want to maintain their winning streak.Mumbai Indians fans hope that Jasprit Bumrah will get fit as soon as possible and return to the field and strengthen the team's bowling. Now it remains to be seen when the BCCI medical team declares Bumrah fit and when he is seen on the field.
