Bad news on Jaspreet Bumrah

According to the Times of India report, Jasprit Bumrah will not be seen playing at the start of IPL 2025. Bumrah is currently undergoing rehab at the BCCI Center of Excellence in Bengaluru. But he may be out of the first or second week of IPL 2025. That is, he is still not fully fit to bowl. Apart from this, Bumrah is likely to join the Mumbai Indians camp in April itself.

A BCCI source said, 'Bumrah's medical report is fine. He has started bowling at the Center of Excellence. However, it is unlikely that he will be able to bowl at the beginning of the IPL. As of now, the first week of April seems to be the best time for his return. The medical team will gradually increase his workload. Until he is able to bowl at full speed without any trouble for a few days, he is unlikely to be cleared by the medical team.'

How many matches will Bumrah miss?

If Bumrah returns in the first week of April, he may miss 3 to 4 matches of Mumbai Indians. On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants' fast bowler Mayank Yadav will also not be able to join the team at the beginning of the season. According to the report, Mayank Yadav is also expected to join the IPL in April.
