NEW DELHI: Jasprit Bumrah made a roaring return to action after a 93-day injury layoff, lighting up the speed gun at the Wankhede Stadium during Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2025 clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday.
Coming into the attack in the fourth over, the ace pacer didn’t hold back. Almost every delivery he bowled clocked over 140 kmph, showing no signs of rust despite the long break.

Virat Kohli, facing his longtime teammate, managed to muscle a six over deep mid-wicket off Bumrah’s second ball. But the rest of the over was sharp and disciplined, ending with figures of 1 6 1 1 0 1 — 10 runs off six balls, but plenty of pace and menace.
Bumrah’s return is a major boost for both Mumbai Indians and India, especially with the upcoming England tour in June. The fire is back.
