Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah surprised everyone by showing up at the Narendra Modi Stadium to watch his Mumbai Indians teammates play against the Gujarat Titans. Bumrah is currently out of action because he had back surgery, and the Mumbai Indians have missed him a lot during the IPL 2023 season.
Even though he couldn’t play, Bumrah told everyone he was there by standing for a picture that Mumbai Indians posted on their social media accounts. It said, “BOOM BOOM… BUMRAH.”
Bumrah has had a hard few months. He missed many games because he had a stress fracture in his back. He had surgery in New Zealand and is now in India, where he is getting better and getting ready to return to the field.
Bumrah is also not a part of the Indian team that will play Australia in the World Test Championship Finals. He will probably need another 5–6 months to fully heal and get back on the team. The question is whether Bumrah will be ready for the upcoming Asia Cup and the highly anticipated ICC World Cup in 2023.
Even though he couldn’t play, the Mumbai Indians and their fans were happy to see Bumrah cheering for the team from the stands. Even though his absence has been a significant setback for the team, the reigning champions will be eager to get back to winning and earn a spot in the playoffs for the IPL 2023 season.
