Jasprit bumrah is probably going to miss the first few weeks of the 2025 indian Premier League, which might be a major setback for the mumbai Indians. The experienced pacer, who is presently recuperating from a back issue, is only anticipated to join the MI camp in April, according to sources.
 
On march 23, MI will play their first match of the 2025 indian Premier League against bitter rivals CSK.
 
Bumrah, who is presently receiving rehabilitation at the Centre of Excellence, is not expected to bowl at the beginning of the IPL, according to the Times of India. In the fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between india and Australia, the pacer sustained a back injury. He was later disqualified from the Champions Trophy as well.

The medical reports for bumrah are satisfactory.  At the CoE, he has started bowling again.  He probably won't be fit to bowl for the start of the IPL in another two weeks, though.  According to present circumstances, it is more likely that he would return to playing high-intensity cricket around the first week of April, a bcci source informed TOI.
 
According to the report, bumrah has not yet begun bowling at full capacity. If the pacer doesn't bowl at full blast for a few days without exhibiting any symptoms of pain, the medical staff keeping an eye on him is unlikely to declare him cleared.
 
The medical staff will progressively increase his task and level of difficulty.  "The medical team is unlikely to clear him unless he can bowl full tilt without any discomfort for a few days," the insider continued.
 
According to the most recent information, bumrah is probably going to miss at least three of MI's IPL 2025 opening games.  He won't be there for the team's first home game against reigning champions KKR on march 31 at Wankhede Stadium.
