On 25 April 2023, Mumbai Indians (MI) locked horns with Gujarat Titans (GT) in the ongoing IPL. The match took place at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, and from the stands, a picture has now gone viral where Jasprit Bumrah was seen supporting MI. Seeing that, fans shared their views on social media.
Speaking about Jasprit Bumrah, he has been an essential part of the Mumbai franchise since 2013. However, he missed this ongoing IPL due to his back injury. Bumrah even is going to miss the upcoming WTC Final for Team India. But, fans are hoping to see him fit for the upcoming ODI World Cup in India.

Jasprit Bumrah last played for Team India on 25 September 2022
Mumbai Indians had a poor start to the tournament. They lost their first two matches and the performance of the bowlers was not up to the mark. After the loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their season opener, MI skipper Rohit Sharma opened up about the unavailability of Bumrah. He said: "For the past six to eight months, I am used to playing without Jasprit Bumrah
“We can't keep dwelling on it. You can try and control the things that are in your control and those that are not in your control, you can't do that. Injuries are not in your control. The other guys that we have are talented. It's just that they haven't played a lot of IPL. We need to give them the support," Rohit concluded. Jasprit Bumrah last played for Team India on 25 September 2022. Last year, he even missed both the 20-20 World Cup in Australia and the Asia Cup in UAE. In his IPL career so far, Bumrah has taken 145 wickets in 120 matches, at an economy of 7.39.
