The Mumbai Indians (MI) have received much-needed relief in the exciting season of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). Star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has rejoined the team after recovering from injury, much to the delight of the fans.
Jasprit Bumrah Returns to MI Squad: Mumbai Indians have received welcome news. Jasprit Bumrah, considered one of the world's most dangerous bowlers, is fully prepared for his IPL 2025 comeback. Ahead of their next match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Mumbai Indians confirmed that Bumrah has rejoined the team and is fit to play.
Bumrah sustained an injury during the fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) against Australia, keeping him out of action for a considerable period. He not only missed the Champions Trophy but his IPL return was also uncertain.
Injured During the Australia Series
Jasprit Bumrah last played in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) against Australia, where he was injured during the fifth Test. Since then, he has been absent from cricket. He missed both the Champions Trophy 2025 and the initial IPL 2025 matches.
MI's Viral Social Media Video – The Lion is Back
Mumbai Indians announced Bumrah's return with a powerful video. The video features Bumrah with the tagline "The Lion is Back." This video is going viral on social media, generating immense excitement among fans. According to Mumbai Indians sources, Bumrah appears fully fit in training sessions. He may even play an intra-squad practice match before the game. This makes his return on April 7th against RCB highly likely.
Mumbai Indians' performance so far has fallen short of expectations. Under Hardik Pandya's captaincy, the team has only won 1 out of 4 matches and currently sits 10th in the points table. The return of an experienced bowler like Jasprit Bumrah is expected to inject new energy into the team.
