Recovering from a stress-related back injury since January 2025, Bumrah is in the final phase of his rehab at the BCCI라이브 바카라 Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
Will Bumrah Play LSG Vs MI?
According to ESPNcricinfo, the 31-year-old will be in action soon but he will miss Friday's Mumbai Indians match against Lucknow Super Giants and might also remain absent in the home match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) scheduled on April 7.
Bumrah will be allowed to play the rest of the Mumbai Indians matches only after he passes the fitnes stest conducted by BCCI. However, the Indian fast bowler is apparently in his final round of the medical test.
Mumbai Indians have struggled without their pace wizard, Jasprit Bumrah, sitting sixth in the standings with just 2 points from 3 matches.
The Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians began their IPL 2025 campaign with a 4-wicket loss to arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings, followed by a 36-run defeat against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. However, they finally bounced back in their previous game, securing a dominant 8-wicket win over defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders.
Despite a shaky start and the absence of their star bowling attack, MI have seen some great performances from emerging talents like debutants Satyanarayana Raju, Vignesh Puthur, and Ashwani Kumar.
The experienced trio of Trent Boult, Hardik Pandya, and Deepak Chahar have given stability in the bowling lineup, but it was Ashwani Kumar's sensational spell of 4/24 in three overs that powered MI to their first win of the season at Wankhede on Monday.
