With the IPL 2025 season approaching, Mumbai Indians (MI) face a setback as their star pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, is likely to miss the first three matches due to a back injury sustained during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This injury also ruled him out of India’s victorious Champions Trophy campaign.

According to ESPNcricinfo, Bumrah is currently undergoing rehabilitation at BCCI’s Centre of Excellence (CoE), and his return is expected in early April, pending medical clearance. MI, who play three matches in March, will have to manage their pace attack without him during this period.

Despite this concern, MI has built a strong squad for IPL 2025. Bumrah’s absence could impact their early momentum, but his return in April will boost their bowling lineup. His performance has been crucial for MI in previous seasons, making his recovery a top priority.

Meanwhile, the IPL 2025 season is set to introduce new rules, including a partial replacement clause for wicketkeepers. The league will also see significant changes in team leadership, with multiple franchises appointing new captains. As MI navigates the early phase without their premier fast bowler, fans eagerly await his return to strengthen their campaign.
