It has been quite a dismal IPL 2026 for Jasprit Bumrah so far. The Mumbai Indians pace spearhead has not only gone wicketless in all five games (conceding 164 runs), but he also leaked runs at 10.25 per over in the previous outing against Punjab Kings.
This is an unusual stretch for a bowler of his calibre. The last time he endured a similar phase was back in 2014, when he went four matches without a breakthrough. However, MI bowling coach Paras Mhambrey backed the under-fire fast bowler, calling him a “fighter”.
