New Delhi Mumbai Indians fans rejoiced at the end of the IPL 2023 auction last year when the franchise bought Jofra Archer for the team. This meant that the England fast bowler would play for the team alongside Jasprit Bumrah. However, both the players could not play for the team.

The archer returned in the middle of the tournament

Archer played six matches for the Mumbai team in IPL 2023. Although it was already announced that Bumrah will not play this season due to back pain. He is out of cricket since September 2022 due to a persistent back problem. However, he could not play Asia Cup and T20 World Cup for Team India last year.

The absence of Khali Bumrah in the Indian team

India missed Bumrah in both the tournaments as the team failed to win the title. Meanwhile, the fate of Mumbai Indians in the IPL was the same as they were knocked out in the second qualifier by Gujarat Titans. Meanwhile, Bumrah has given some hints about his return.

Actually Bumrah has shared a picture of shoes on his Instagram and wrote in the caption that Hello friends, we are meeting again. Bumrah played his last T20 match against Australia on 25 September last year. Meanwhile, he missed the Asia Cup, after which he recovered and was ready to return to the Indian team.

Also out of T20 World Cup

In such a situation, Bumrah has started playing bilateral T20 series to prepare for the T20 World Cup. However, he had to withdraw suddenly before the series against South Africa and he could not even play in the T20 World Cup. ,

Did not even participate in IPL

Bumrah was included in the squad for India’s one-day series in January ahead of the Test series against Australia, but was eventually dropped from the playing XI and announced that he would not be able to play in the IPL after the Test series.
