Actually, Jasprit Bumrah is considered to be the strongest link of Mumbai Indians, who has been troubling the opposing batsmen with his dangerous yorkers and variations. But, Bumrah has not been able to find his rhythm in this season of IPL. He has bowled a total of 15 overs in four matches and given 123 runs at an economy of 8.20. Even after this, Bumrah has not been able to get any wicket. This is a matter of concern for his team.
It is important for Bumrah to be in form for Mumbai Indians because the rest of the bowlers of the team have also not been able to do anything special. So far, Mumbai bowlers have been thoroughly washed out in all four matches. In the last match against RCB, Bumrah was the most economical, but the rest of the bowlers were badly beaten. In this match, RCB had made a big score of 240.
Let us tell you that Bumrah has failed to take wickets in the last five innings of IPL. This series started against Punjab Kings in Qualifier-2 of 2025. In that match, Bumrah had given 40 runs in four overs. But, he could not get the wicket. At the same time, Punjab Kings defeated Mumbai Indians by 5 wickets and confirmed their place in the final.
