IPL 2025: Jasprit Bumrah is arguably the best pacer in the world currently and very few would doubt that given his records and achievements. But unfortunately Bumrah has been out of action for quite some time after he picked up an injury during the final Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test at Sydney Cricket Ground.
There were whispers that he would return to the side during the Champions Trophy 2025, but that did not happen as the management did not want to risk him. Now, we are getting to hear that he may also miss the first two weeks of the upcoming season of the cash-rich Indian Premier League. If the reports are true, it would be a massive setback for the Mumbai Indians side.
Speaking to an Indian media outlet, a BCCI source revealed that Bumrah's medical reports are fine. The BCCI source also claimed that Bumrah will return in the first week of April. He also confirmed that Bumrah has started bowling already.

‘He has resumed bowling at the CoE’
"Bumrah's medical reports are okay. He has resumed bowling at the CoE. However, it is unlikely he'll be able to bowl at the start of the IPL in another fortnight. As per current start of the IPL in another fortnight. As per current status, the first week of April looks a more realistic date for him to get back to high-intensity cricket," a BCCI source said a media outlet.

Was Bumrah Missed at CT 2025?
India has made the CT 2025 final and they would be playing New Zealand in the summit clash in Dubai.
One has to admit that Bumrah was not majorly missed because the pitches in Dubai have predominantly been helping spinners. Mohammed Shami, Hardik Pandya and Harshit Rana have done a decent job as and when required.
Bumrah was a major part of India's triumphant 2024 T20 World Cup run and certainly MI would miss him in the early stage of IPL 2025.
