Το Jasprit Bumrah είναι κατάλληλο και διαθέσιμο για επιλογή για τους Ινδιάνους της Βομβάης, των οποίων η εκστρατεία IPL 2025 απαιτεί σημαντική ώθηση.
Mumbai Indians are 5-time IPL champions, but in recent years, their performances have been affected by several reasons, including a change in personnel and dip in form for some of their major stars. Hardik Pandya’s return to MI last season and his takeover as captain did little to help Rohit Sharma’s form, and that has continued this year too. Therefore, Jasprit Bumrah’s return from a long injury layoff will give MI a huge shot in the arm.
Bumrah’s glory before injury
Before his injury break, Jasprit Bumrah was in the form of his life. He picked 32 wickets in 5 Tests of the Border Gavaskar Trophy and almost single-handedly carried the Indian bowling attack against Australia. Before that, in the T20 World Cup last year, Bumrah was the 3rd highest wicket taker with 15 wickets and in the IPL 2024, he was MI’s highest wicket taker and the third highest overall with 20 wickets.
Bumrah’s return therefore was a prospect MI would be thrilled with. However, they have enough experience to realise the pace ace will need to settle in gradually. But up against an opening combination of Phil Salt and Virat Kohli, Bumrah’s mere presence could make a lot of difference.
Virat Kohli in last one year
Virat Kohli won the Orange Cap last year, made a match-winning half-century in the T20 World Cup final and was in sublime form in the Champions Trophy which Bumrah missed because of his injury. Kohli started his campaign in IPL 2025 with a fifty against KKR before a sluggish innings against CSK and a cheap dismissal against GT.
Kohli vs Bumrah
The Kohli – Bumrah battles in the IPL have seen some interesting moments. In 16 innings, Kohli has scored 140 runs off 95 balls at a strike-rate of 147.36. Bumrah has dismissed Kohli 5 times in these 16 innings, nearly one third of their faceoffs in the IPL. On Monday, this is what MI would expect when the fiercest fast bowler in the world takes on the leading run scorer in the IPL.
