Jasprit Bumrah was given a special welcome by the Mumbai Indians on his return to the cricketing action in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. After spending close to two months at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru for rehabilitation, the world no.1 pacer has joined his teammates ahead of their crucial clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 7.
The premier pacer, who missed Mumbai Indians’ first four games will be available on April 7 against RCB, informed head coach Mahela Jayawardene on Sunday. The inclusion of Jasprit Bumrah will bolster the pacer attack who have done a pretty decent job so far.
Upon his return at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians mentor Kieron Pollard lifted Jasprit Bumrah and said “Welcome Mufasa” as the rest of the team cheered and clapped.
