Jasprit Bumrah has had a tough IPL 2026 season so far, with the Mumbai Indians pace bowler going wicketless in all five games and conceding runs at a high rate. Despite this, Mumbai Indians bowling coach Paras Mhambrey has expressed his support for Bumrah, calling him a ‘fighter’ and highlighting his determination and work ethic in practice sessions.
Mhambrey emphasized that Bumrah plays different roles in the game and that his contributions go beyond just taking wickets. He mentioned that Bumrah has been putting in the effort in training and that everyone in the team has faith in his abilities to bounce back and deliver in future games.
Bumrah’s performance in the tournament has been below his usual standards, with him conceding 164 runs in five matches without taking a wicket. This is a rare occurrence for a bowler of his caliber, with the last time he faced a similar phase being back in 2014.
In other news, Will Jacks is yet to join the Mumbai Indians team. The team will be hoping for a turnaround as they face an in-form Gujarat Titans in their upcoming match.
Overall, despite the challenges Bumrah has faced in the IPL 2026 season, there is confidence within the team that he will overcome this rough patch and showcase his true potential in the games to come.
