Jasprit Bumrah Joins MI Squad Ahead of Home Fixture Against RCB
Mumbai Indians announced the arrival of Jasprit Bumrah, with a statement that read: "The Lion is Back and is ready to be the King of this Jungle again." Bumrah joined the MI squad on Saturday, ahead of their home fixture against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Monday (April 7).
Bumrah's Return a Boost for MI
The five-time champions have struggled to make an impact in the beginning of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season, with only one win from four games. They are placed seventh in the points table. Bumrah's presence is expected to bring about a turnaround in their fortunes.
Bumrah's Return After a Long Absence
Bumrah has been out of action since January, seeking clearance from the Sports Science wing of the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. He has had quite a few visits and only recently is understood to have been cleared to participate in the IPL.
Will Bumrah Play Straight Away?
It is unclear if Bumrah will play the game straight away, but the general impression is that the final call will be taken after seeing him at the nets on Sunday evening.
