Jasprit Bumrah to miss these games for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025

Mumbai Indians are all set to face a massive blow in the first few games of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. As per the reports in Cricbuzz, it is learned that Jasprit Bumrah is all set to miss the first two games of the tournament owing to his back injury. 

Jasprit Bumrah has been out of action since the last game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Australia. The premier pacer faced a back injury during the last game at Sydney, and after that, he hasn't played a single game as he did rehabilitation at the NCA. 

Jasprit Bumrah has been undergoing rehabilitation in Bengaluru. The BCCI Sports Science chief, Nitin Patel, is closely observing the fast bowler. But in what is the positive update, the premier pacer is all set to get the fitness clearance by the end of the month. 

There isn't any confirmation about when Jasprit Bumrah will join the Mumbai Indians camp. But, it is learned that he will be missing the first two games of the franchise against Chennai Super Kings in Chennai on March 23 and against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on March 29.  

Jasprit Bumrah will be joining Mumbai Indians camp earlier but won't be travelling with the team to Chennai and Ahmedabad

Mumbai Indians then will be returning to their home at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on 31st March. They will be locking horns with Kolkata Knight Riders on 31st March. He will likely fit for that game but there isn't any clarity if the franchise will rush him or not.

The reports added that Jasprit Bumrah will be joining Mumbai Indians camp earlier but won't be travelling with the team to Chennai and Ahmedabad. However, if he stays fit for the last half of the season, it will be a great boost for the franchise as well as the India National Cricket Team. 

In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Mumbai Indians will be depending on Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, Reece Topley, Corbin Bosch, Arjun Tendulkar, Satyanarayana Raju, Ashwani Kumar, as well as all-rounders – captain Hardik Pandya, and Raj Angad Bawa.
