Mumbai Indians received a significant boost for the upcoming IPL 2025 season with the return of Jasprit Bumrah from injury.
New Delhi: Jasprit Bumrah, India’s leading fast bowler, has returned to his Mumbai franchise after recovering from injury. The team announced his comeback with a video, generating significant online attention.
Mumbai’s cricket team has struggled this season, winning only one of their four games. Jasprit Bumrah’s return is expected to significantly boost the team and provide much-needed relief for captain Hardik Pandya.
Mumbai Indians face Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 7th. Jasprit Bumrah may make his season debut in this game, bolstering the team’s bowling attack. However, given his recent back injury recovery, managing his fitness will be crucial.
Jasprit Bumrah, the Player of the Series in the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy, sustained a back injury during the final Test match in Australia. This injury prevented him from participating in the Champions Trophy and required a three-month rehabilitation period at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). He is now expected to return to competitive cricket after this recovery period.
