Overview

  • Jasprit Bumrah has rejoined the Mumbai Indians squad ahead of their April 7 match against Royal Challengers Bangalore but is not expected to play in this game.
  • Bumrah has been recovering from a back injury sustained in January 2025, which required surgery and extensive rehabilitation at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
  • The pacer is anticipated to make his competitive return on April 17 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, marking a key milestone in his recovery journey.
  • Mumbai Indians have struggled in Bumrah's absence, winning only one of their first four matches in IPL 2025, with their bowling attack missing his leadership and skill.
  • Bumrah, retained by Mumbai Indians for ₹18 crore despite his injury history, has been a cornerstone of the team since his IPL debut in 2013, taking 165 wickets in 133 matches.
