Bumrah’s much-anticipated return comes after a period of rehabilitation at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence (CoE). The ace speedster had not featured in any of Mumbai’s matches this season, leaving fans anxiously awaiting updates.
Speaking at the toss ahead of MI’s game against Lucknow Super Giants on Friday, skipper Hardik Pandya had hinted at the possibility of Bumrah’s return, saying, “Jasprit should be back soon.” That promise has now materialised.
Bumrah’s comeback is a massive relief for Mumbai Indians, who have struggled to find their groove in IPL 2025. His presence not only bolsters the bowling attack but also brings leadership and composure in crunch situations.
With MI yet to hit peak form this season, Bumrah’s arrival could be the turning point. Known for his lethal yorkers, calm under pressure, and game-changing spells, the 31-year-old pacer will be crucial in MI’s quest to climb the points table.
