Bumrah races IPL clock with late fitness check

Jasprit Bumrah reported to the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru just days before IPL 2024, as the Mumbai Indians spearhead pushes for full fitness ahead of the season opener.

The pacer is undergoing final assessments, with MI cautious about rushing their key bowler back into action. “He’s progressing well but being handled carefully,” a BCCI source told Times of India. A franchise insider added, “The final call will depend on medical feedback.”

“Bumrah’s fitness could be decisive early on,” an analyst said, with the star quick central to MI’s title ambitions once again.
