 "IPL 2025: Jasprit Bumrah joins team ahead of MI vs RCB match on Monday")
Mumbai Indians (MI) received a major boost on Sunday as India pace lynchpin Jasprit Bumrah joined the team ahead of MI's match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday.
Bumrah was at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru after sustaining an injury during the India vs Australia fifth Test in Sydney in January. He was suffering from a back spasm, which ruled him out of India’s squad for the Champions Trophy 2025. Check IPL 2025 Match 19: SRH vs GT live score, match updates and full scorecard here
Bumrah’s return to the Mumbai squad is expected to boost the team’s prospects, especially given that their bowling unit has looked thin despite the presence of Trent Boult and the emergence of young pacer Ashwani Kumar.
Despite having joined the squad, it would not come as a surprise if Bumrah does not feature in the match against RCB on Monday, as the team has previously been cautious about playing him immediately after injury. Bumrah bowling stats in IPL
