According to a report from ESPNCricinfo, Jasprit Bumrah is set to miss at least the next two matches for the Mumbai Indians in the 2025 Indian Premier League as he continues his recovery from a lower back injury. Bumrah has been increasing his bowling workload at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru and is nearing the final stage of fitness tests. He will only rejoin the MI squad after receiving clearance from the BCCI medical team.
Bumrah, who has been cautious about his comeback, is prioritizing full fitness over a rushed return, especially with India’s upcoming Test series in England. In his absence, MI has been relying on young bowlers and experienced players like Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar to lead the attack.
Bumrah, a key player for MI since 2013, has only missed one IPL season in 2023 due to a back injury. His current setback occurred during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Sydney, causing him to miss the recent Champions Trophy. Bumrah’s recovery has been closely monitored by India’s selectors, with fresh scans revealing ongoing discomfort that ruled him out of the tournament.
