Jasprit Bumrah has returned to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru to seek clearance to play in the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Mumbai Indians franchise is eagerly awaiting a positive update on his progress. Bumrah had experienced pain and discomfort during bowling a week ago, leading to specific exercises and a return visit to the NCA. If he feels comfortable bowling this time without any discomfort, he is likely to receive clearance, although it may take at least a week. This means he will miss Mumbai’s first two games but could return for the third match against Kolkata Knight Riders. Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene remains optimistic about Bumrah’s progress and hopes for his swift return to the team. Additionally, Sanju Samson, who suffered a finger injury, is set to return to the NCA for clearance and may feature in the initial games for Rajasthan Royals as a batter.
