Jasprit Bumrah, the star pacer of Mumbai Indians, has joined the Squad ahead of the big clash against RCB. Mumbai Indians are set to face the roaring Royal Challengers Bangalore in a rivalry week on 7 April 2025 at their home ground, Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The news of Jasprit Bumrah joining the squad was shared by Mumbai Indians in an emotional Game of Thrones-themed video, captioned, “Ready to Roar.”
Jasprit Bumrah has been out of form for a long time after suffering a back injury in the fifth Border-Gavaskar Trophy test match against Australia. Since the injury, Pacer has missed important Champions Trophy clashes and has also missed the initial four outings of the franchise Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025. His absence has been deeply felt, as MI has struggled to find momentum this season. With his return, the Mumbai Indians’ hopes have also made a strong comeback.
Ready To roar, The King of the jungle is back in his kingdom
After three months of medical observations and fitness training, Jasprit Bumrah has been given the green light and declared fit to return to competitive cricket through the Mumbai Indians’ next clash in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 season.
MI confirmed Bumrah’s return with a video on social media titled ‘Ready to Roar’ on ‘X’ and ‘The King of the jungle is back in his kingdom’ on Instagram Handle. The BCCI team has given him a clearance after slowly increasing his bowling workload in the final round of test and declared him fit to join the MI squad.
Mumbai announced his return on Sunday in a Games of Thrones-themed video posted on Instagram, captioned: “Ready to roar.” In the video, Bumrah’s wife, Sanjana Ganesan, is seen telling his son Angad, “In 2013, there was a cub who entered the jungle. A jungle full of runs and sixes and boundaries. Where everyone was scared, he showed courage. Over the years, he fought many battles. He fought for survival and for pride. He won and lost, but never gave up. These battles left him with scars, but these cars did not ruin him. Once a cub, now a lion. The lion is back. He is back to be the king of the jungle again.”

Although it’s still unclear whether Bumrah will be part of the playing XI against RCB, there is a possibility that he might return in the match against Delhi Capitals in their next clash. Bumrah’s comeback is a massive relief for the Mumbai Indians, who have struggled to find their rhythm in IPL 2025. His presence not only strengthens the bowling attack but also adds leadership and composure in crucial situations.
