There is a great news for cricket fans. Jaspreet Bumrah has joined the Mumbai Indians camp ahead of the IPL match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. This match will be played at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. Jaspreet Bumrah was out of the cricket field since he suffered a back injury on the second day of the fifth Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Due to that injury, Jaspreet Bumrah could not bowl in the second innings. Australia won the series 3-1.
After being instructed to rest for five weeks, Jasprit Bumrah's recovery process began at the BCCI Center of Excellence (COE) in Bengaluru. Bumrah missed the limited-overs series against England and the Champions Trophy in Dubai. The five-time champion team shared the news of Bumrah's return on its social media and captioned, 'Ready to roar.'

The world's most dangerous bowler suddenly returned to the team
According to sources, Jaspreet Bumrah joined the Mumbai Indians team on Saturday evening, before that he played a practice match at the COE in the morning and after that he got the green signal from the medical team. A player like Jaspreet being fully fit and making a comeback for Mumbai Indians is a big achievement for the team. Obviously, everyone is very excited about this, but there is still no certainty about whether he will play in tomorrow's match against RCB or not.
When will Bumrah play the match?
Bumrah should play, but it will be his decision whether to play in tomorrow's match or not, and he will also decide on it after discussions with the Mumbai Indians think tank led by head coach Mahela Jayawardene. Bumrah's availability will be officially known when Mumbai Indians hold a pre-match press conference at 5:30 pm on Sunday, followed by practice at the Wankhede Stadium from 6 to 9 pm.
Bumrah has been the mainstay of Mumbai Indians' bowling
Bumrah has been the mainstay of Mumbai Indians' bowling since making his IPL debut in 2013 and has taken 165 wickets in 133 matches for the franchise. The only season he missed for Mumbai Indians in the IPL was in 2023, when he was recovering from a back injury that required surgery. Bumrah's return will strengthen the bowling of the team, which is placed eighth with two points from four matches and needs to register further wins to enter the playoffs.
