IPL 2025 : Mumbai Indians Provide Update on Fitness of Jasprit Bumrah
🚨 Mumbai Indians Provide an Update on Jasprit Bumrah's Injury Status
Mumbai Indians (MI) have given a crucial update on Jasprit Bumrah's recovery as they gear up for IPL 2025. The star pacer is still at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), recovering from a back injury sustained during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. 🔄
📅 Will Bumrah Play in IPL 2025?
Bumrah was initially named in India's provisional squad for the 2025 Champions Trophy but had to be withdrawn due to fitness concerns. 🏆
Reports suggest that he might miss the first few matches of IPL 2025.
Mahela Jayawardene, MI’s head coach, confirmed that Bumrah is being monitored daily at the NCA and is recovering well.
An earlier ESPNcricinfo report hinted that he could rejoin the MI squad by early April. 📌
🎙️ Jayawardene's Statement:
"He is still at the NCA and is being monitored on a day-to-day basis. He is recovering and is in good spirits. Hopefully, he can join the team sooner."
🔄 Who Will Captain MI in Their IPL 2025 Opener?
With Hardik Pandya suspended for MI's first match due to an over-rate breach in IPL 2024, Suryakumar Yadav will take over the captaincy duties against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 23. 🏏⚡
📢 Hardik Pandya on Leadership:
"I am lucky that I have three captains playing with me - Rohit, Surya, and Bumrah. They always place an arm around my shoulder and are there when I need any help."
