Bumrah's return will be a major boost for MI after their consecutive losses at the start of the season.
Mumbai Indians (MI) talismanic pacer Jasprit Bumrah was recently spotted bowling full-fledged at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). This will be blessed news for the MI side, who are missing the India star due to a back injury which he picked up during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.
Bumrah, subsequently, missed out on India’s squad for the Champions Trophy 2025. He was expected to miss the first few games for MI in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
However, Bumrah now looks like he is close to making a comeback. A video surfaced of him bowling in full tilt. Although a final confirmation regarding his return date is yet to be confirmed.

Bumrah could be seen bowling with his usual run-up and appeared completely at ease. If the NCA clears Bumrah soon, it would be a major boost for the five-time champions, especially after their disappointing start to the season with back-to-back losses. His return would strengthen MI’s bowling attack and provide valuable support to captain Hardik Pandya.
MI’s upcoming fixtures are against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on March 31, followed by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on April 4 and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on April 7. While Bumrah is unlikely to be fit for the KKR clash, they will hope he recovers in time for the RCB encounter. If not, his most probable return could be during the Delhi Capitals (DC) match on April 13 in India’s capital.
