Jasprit Bumrah Replacement Announced by the Mumbai Indians for TATA IPL 2023. 

Jasprit Bumrah, the speedster of the Indian cricket team and also the backbone of the Mumbai Indians’ bowling line-up is expected to miss the entire TATA IPL. Although the class and ability of Jasprit Bumrah can never be replaced but the Mumbai Indians have chosen a young Indian bowler as the replacement of Jasprit Bumrah.  

This bowler was a part of the Indian age-group teams and has been around the national team as well. He even made his debut for India in the India tour of Sri Lanka in 2021. The first game of the TATA IPL 2023 for the Mumbai Indians will be their game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 1. They will be excited to start the campaign with their new replacement bowler. Here is an in-depth look: 

Jasprit Bumrah Replacement Announced: 

So, the official announcement for the replacement of Jasprit Bumrah has been made. It is “Sandeep Warrier”, who is expected to replace Jasprit Bumrah. To replicate the ability and the pace of Bumrah, along with that unique bowling action is next to impossible. But Sandeep Warrier is one of the top domestic pacers. He plays for Bengal Cricket Association in the Ranji Trophy and has done decently well in the last domestic season.  

There was little to no reason to Sandeep going unsold. But him getting an opportunity in the form of being a replacement is going to be a good experience. Sandeep Warrier has played 68 T20 games in the Indian circuit and has scalped 62 wickets. His best performance was 3/19. He has previously been a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Kolkata Knight Riders. 

Mumbai Indians Announce Replacement for Bumrah: 

Jasprit Bumrah has been officially ruled out of the TATA IPL 2023. The Mumbai management delayed the announcement as they expected Bumrah to show some signs of recovery. But Bumrah is currently in a rehabilitation process. He underwent surgery in New Zealand for his lower back. Bumrah was ruled out of the Asia Cup 2022 after his return to the international circuit was fast-tracked. He first encountered the lower-back issue while playing for India in the India tour of the England ODI Series. Post the Asia Cup 2022, Bumrah has missed all cricket including the T20I World Cup 2022 in Australia.  

Sandeep Warrier Stats: 

In the infamous India tour of Sri Lanka 2021, where India had sent a second-string squad to play against Sri Lanka and more than half of the senior players were away to practice for the WTC final, Sandeep got his debut cap. He played just a few overs in the game and left the field after attempting a diving catch and injuring himself.
