Is Jasprit Bumrah Under Injury Cloud Before IPL 2026?
Jasprit Bumrah has been on the headlines once again before the IPL 2026. Fans have been waiting to spot him at the Wankhede Stadium for Mumbai's practice sessions but they spotted him elsewhere. He was seen at the BCCI Centre of Excellence right before the tournament, raising injury issues.
Jasprit Bumrah has been on the headlines once again before the IPL 2026. Fans have been waiting to spot him at the Wankhede Stadium for Mumbai's practice sessions but they spotted him elsewhere. He was seen at the BCCI Centre of Excellence right before the tournament, raising injury issues.
There are some signs of worry even for the five time IPL champions Mumbai Indians. They have a strong bowling line-up with players such as Trent Boult, Shardul Thakur, Hardik Pandya, and more, but the key bowler role is handed to someone else. And it is the Indian star, Jasprit Bumrah, one of the most economical bowlers in the IPL.
The training camp of Mumbai Indians had started a long time back, and was attended by several players. Fans saw Rohit Sharma, Shardul Thakur, Hardik Pandya, and many more in the same. But Jasprit Bumrah was not seen in any of the practice sessions, raising concerns for the team. He was also a part of the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2026.

While fans have been waiting for him to join Mumbai Indians, he paid a visit to the BCCI Centre of Excellence. It is still unclear whether he is injured or he visited for routine checks, since there is no official confirmation for the same.
Our Take
Jasprit Bumrah has been prone to injuries since the 2023 World Cup. The BCCI has been working well to manage his workload, and he even missed out on the initial games of the last season. Still, his availability for the IPL 2026 has not been confirmed, with Mumbai Indians waiting for him to join the training camp.
If Bumrah turns out to be unfit for the upcoming season or just a few games, it could be a massive setback for the team. He has already missed the entire IPL 2023 season, and missed a few appearances in the last season also. If he is unavailable, it will be interesting to see which bowler steps up to fill his boots.
