Whose wait was waiting, for whom the fans were desperate, the clock came. Finally, Bumrah is returning to the IPL. Indian team star Pesar Jasprit Bumrah is going to return to the team of Mumbai Indians on Monday. He has joined the team's camp before the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Bumrah was out for a long time due to a back injury during the fifth Test of Australia tour in January and has missed important tournaments like Champions Trophy last month.
Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene confirmed Bumrah's return before the match against RCB, saying, 'Yes, they are available. They are practicing, so they will be ready to play in Monday's match. Bumrah's return to Mumbai Indians will strengthen the team. In particular, Mumbai Indians will get relief in bowling because this team seems more dependent on new fast bowlers. With the return of Bumrah in Mumbai Indians, the bad days of the opposing teams have started as this player has a surprise record in the IPL.
Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma had rested in the last match due to an injury to the knee, but on Sunday, he was seen batting in the nets at Wankhede Stadium. Coach Jayawardene told, 'Rohit is feeling good. Today they will bat. During the batting, he had a regrettory attack on his leg, due to which he was uncomfortable. We were currently traveling, but on Sunday they will practice and then we will assess their situation.
When Jayawardene was asked whether another player in the team had a problem of injury, he said, 'As far as I know, there is no such case.' It remains to be seen whether Bumrah's return and Rohit's fitness will be able to win Mumbai Indians against RCB!
