Mumbai Indians have begun 2023 in a spectacular manner as they won the inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League under the leadership of Harmanpreet Kaur after defeating Meg Lanning’s Delhi Capitals in the summit clash on March 26 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.

But the franchise will be put to a stern test as they gear up for the forthcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) starting March 31. The Rohit Sharma-led side is sweating heavily over the fitness of Jasprit Bumrah as the world-class pacer is under rehabilitation after recently undergoing a successful back surgery in New Zealand.

As per several reports, Bumrah might not feature in a single game during the upcoming edition and if that turns out to be the case then it will put a lot of pressure on Mumbai’s inexperienced bowling attack. But despite whether he plays or not, Bumrah has already joined Mumbai’s squad and also met fellow pace merchant Jofra Archer as the duo was snapped together on the night of the WPL final.

Mumbai Indians franchise posted a video of the two pacers having a conversation together by taking to their Instagram account and using the caption ‘Raftar’ (Speed).
