Will Jasprit Bumrah Sit Out IPL 2026? Injury Concerns Shock Mumbai Indians Fans!
According to the Times Of India, with just days left before IPL 2026 starts, Mumbai Indians star pacer Jasprit Bumrah was spotted at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Karnataka. Instead of joining the Mumbai Indians team camp, he checked into the facility. This news has left many fans concerned. Reports did not clearly say if he went there due to an injury or for a routine check-up.
Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene had earlier said that players from the T20 World Cup-winning team were allowed extra rest before joining their IPL sides. Jasprit Bumrah was last seen in the final of the T20 World Cup 2026. At that time, there was no report of any injury.
Right now, fans can only hope that he joins the Mumbai Indians camp soon and is completely fit. Everyone is excited to see him bowl at his best during the IPL.
For the unversed, the IPL 2026 will run from March 28 to May 31, 2026. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has released the schedule in two phases because of state assembly elections in Assam, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal. The first phase will include the initial 20 matches from March 28 to April 12. Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the tournament opener.
