Jasprit Bumrah has been in rehab since January, nursing a stress-related discomfort in his lower back. He last played a competitive game during the Sydney Test against Australia. The India pace spearhead suffered the injury setback on the second day of the Test and did not take any further part. He also missed India's victorious campaign in the ICC Champions Trophy.
Jasprit Bumrah was included in the preliminary squad as he was expected to be fit for the marquee event. However, he failed to recover fully and was not named in India's final squad. Later, reports stated that while the pacer would miss the IPL games in March, he would be joining the MI squad in April.
Jasprit Bumrah set to return:
"I think we in a group have spoken that we don't want to talk about the wickets. We are here to play good cricket. That's the talk we have had. Let's not talk about the surfaces as a team. I think adaptation (key to success in IPL).
Meanwhile, a report in ESPNcricinfo has stated that Bumrah is also likely to miss MI's next game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He is currently building his bowling workload at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
The report stated that the pacer is close to taking the final round of fitness tests. He would be allowed to join the MI squad only after he gets the green light from the BCCI medical team.
