IPL 2025: Japrit Bumrah available for selection against RCB

Mumbai Indians are currently navigating through a difficult phase in the ongoing Indian Premier League, suffering three defeats from their four games that have left them searching for a much-needed turnaround. As MI gear up for their upcoming match against RCB, the good news for the team is that their leading pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, is available for selection.

"He is available. He is training today, so he should be available tomorrow,” MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene said during the press conference. 

"He arrived last night (Saturday). And I believe he had his sessions with NCA to finalise that. He has been handed over to our physios. So, yeah, it should be his bowling today. All good, and he will play tomorrow."

Meanwhile, Bumrah linked up with MI’s squad on Saturday, after receiving clearance from the BCCI's medical staff at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. He has been on the sidelines since the Sydney Test in January, when he picked up a back injury. Following the injury, Bumrah went on to miss India's home white-ball series against England and the Champions Trophy. Bumrah’s return comes at a time when Mumbai, who are sitting in 8th place in the points table, seek a massive turnaround.
