Udaipur, April 6, 2025: The Mumbai Indians have begun their IPL 2025 journey, traveling from one city to another — Mumbai, Lucknow and then Ahmedabad. But one of their biggest stars, Jasprit Bumrah, is far from the action.

Bumrah is currently in Bengaluru, receiving treatment for his injury at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence. While Mumbai has already played four matches this season, they’ve won just one and lost three. With only 2 points and a net run rate of +0.108, they currently sit at seventh place on the points table.

And clearly, the team is missing Bumrah’s magic on the field. Fans are now asking the one question on everyone’s mind: When will Bumrah return to lead Mumbai’s comeback?

Bumrah’s Recovery Status

According to Cricinfo, Bumrah, who has been undergoing rehabilitation since January due to a back issue, is expected to return to the field soon. However, it’s unlikely to happen before next Monday, when Mumbai faces Royal Challengers Bangalore at home.

Bumrah Close to Passing Fitness Test

The Indian fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, is nearing the final phase of his fitness test at the Centre of Excellence. However, it will still take some time before he returns to the field. Mumbai Indians have a match against Lucknow Super Giants tonight, but Bumrah's return remains uncertain.

Will Bumrah Return Before England Series?

India will start a five-match Test series against England on June 28, and the BCCI will want Bumrah fit and ready before that. However, sources say that Bumrah himself is determined not to return to the field until he is fully fit.

Mumbai’s Pace Attack Sans Bumrah

In Bumrah’s absence, Mumbai's pace attack is being led by Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar, alongside Satyanarayana, Vignesh Puthur, and Ashwini Kumar. All-rounder and captain Hardik Pandya is also contributing to the bowling attack.

Mahela Jayawardene’s Updates

Mumbai's head coach, Mahela Jayawardene, last spoke about Bumrah’s condition on March 19. At that time, it was expected that Bumrah would miss the entire month of March and would be ready to return in April. While a return this month is possible, the exact timing remains uncertain.
