He was asked to load off and was subsequently ruled out of the Champions Trophy 2025. He has already missed MI’s first four matches in the ongoing IPL 2025.
However, as per a report in India Today, sources have revealed that Bumrah is set to link up with the rest of the Mumbai Indians squad ahead of their next match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Mumbai on Monday, April 07. Though Bumrah will return to MI’s camp, he will not feature in the playing XI against RCB and will need to undergo match simulation before returning to action.
