Not having jasprit Bumrah for the first IPL 2025 games “is a challenge” and “I hope he will soon be able to join the team,” said Mahela Jayawardene, Mumbai Indians (Mi), on Wednesday in a press interaction in Mumbai on Wednesday. Jayawardene also said that the quick launcher “is in a good mood” while he recovers at the BCCI center of excellence (formerly the National Cricket Academy) in Bengaluru.

“”[Bumrah] has just started its progress. We have to wait and see what their [BCCI medical team] The comments are on him, “said Jayawardene.” For the moment, everything is going well. But, obviously, it’s daily. He’s in a good mood. Not having it is a challenge. He has been one of the best quarry in the world and has been a fantastic pro for us for many years.

“We will have to wait or find the opportunity for someone else to intensify. This is how I see it. It gives us an element to try a few things and see how things work. The first part of the season allows us to do it.”

Bumrah played all of his IPL cricket for MI, from 2013 and picked up 165 counters in 133 games over the years. The only IPL season he has missed since he started playing was in 2023 when he had a back injury.

MI Squad a Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, Reece Topley and Corbin Bosch (replacement of Lizaad Williams) like the other front line speeds, as well as Captain Hhelik Pandya, Allrounder and Ashwani Kumar, Satyanarayana Raju, Arjun Tendulkar and Raj Angad Bawa. The absence of Bumrah could force a rensation of the Bowling plans of Mi, because Boult and Chahar are mainly mighties of power, leaving them less T20 in death.

As Espncricinfo reported last week, Bumrah did not recover from the back injury linked to stress that kept him out of action since January, and he could join MI Squad in early April.
He suffered the injury on the second day of the last test of the Border-Gavaskar trophy in Sydney on January 4. Bumrah was then excluded from the Champions Trophy, which India won earlier this month. This is the first time that Bumrah has been injured with a back injury since his operation in March 2023.
While announcing the team of the Champions Trophy in January, Ajit Agarkar, chief selector of India, said that Bumrah had been invited by the BCCI medical team to unload for at least five weeks (from the SCG). Since the Champions Trophy only started on February 19, Bumrah had been included in the provisional team of India. He went to Bengaluru for new analyzes in early February, but continued to feel discomfort and was not appointed to the final team.

The first two IPL 2025 MI devices are absent. They start their campaign in Chennai against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 23, then play Gujarat Titans (GT) in Ahmedabad on March 29.
