Why is Jasprit Bumrah Missing MI vs KKR in IPL 2025?
Alright, cricket fans, let's talk about the big question that's on everyone's mind today—why is Jasprit Bumrah not playing in Mumbai Indians' crucial home game against Kolkata Knight Riders? MI supporters were hoping to see their star pacer back in action at Wankhede, but unfortunately, that’s not happening. So, what’s going on with Bumrah?
Jasprit Bumrah has been out of competitive cricket since January 2025 due to a back injury. He last played during India’s fifth Test against Australia in Sydney, where he bowled only in the first innings before being sidelined. Since then, he's been undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, working towards full fitness. While he has resumed bowling in the nets, there's still no official word on when he will be match-ready. A recent viral video of him bowling during practice sparked excitement, but MI fans will have to wait a little longer for his return.

Mumbai Indians have struggled in IPL 2025 so far, losing their first two matches against Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans. The absence of their bowling spearhead has clearly been a setback, leaving the MI bowling attack vulnerable. While MI has a solid lineup, Bumrah’s impact is undeniable—his pace, accuracy, and ability to deliver under pressure have made him one of the best in the league. Without him, MI’s chances of bouncing back become more challenging.
Now, will he return soon? Reports suggest that Bumrah could make a comeback by mid-April, but nothing has been confirmed by either Mumbai Indians or the BCCI. MI fans are keeping their fingers crossed, hoping for their ace bowler’s comeback sooner rather than later.
Meanwhile, today's playing XIs for MI vs KKR are locked in. MI's squad features names like Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Trent Boult, while KKR is going strong with Quinton de Kock, Sunil Narine, and Andre Russell. The match promises to be a thrilling contest, but MI will certainly feel the void left by Bumrah.
As the season progresses, the big question remains: when will Bumrah be back to lead Mumbai Indians' attack? Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s hope we see him back on the field soon, firing those deadly yorkers once again!
