Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders LIVE Updates, IPL 2025: Rohit Sharma failed to fire again, being dismissed for 13 runs off 12 balls as MI chased just 117 against KKR. MI have reached 89/1 after 10 overs, with Ryan Rickelton smashing a half-century.
The IPL 2025 first two round of matches are already over, yet there is no sign of Jasprit Bumrah. The fast bowler has been missing from action from January when he suffered an issue in his back from the Australia Tour. He missed the India vs England series, the Champions Trophy and there is still no clarity on when Jasprit Bumrah will be back in IPL 2025 for Mumbai Indians. Immediately after the IPL 2025 which ends in the last week of May, Indian cricket team will fly out to England a Test series starting June third week.
Ahead of the clash against Gujarat Titans on Saturday, Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene issued an update on premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah and said that he is recovering well but there is no exact date of his return to action in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Bumrah is currently undergoing rehab at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (formerly the National Cricket Academy) in Bengaluru for a lower back injury which prevented him from bowling in the second innings of fifth Test against Australia in Sydney. Since then, Bumrah has been out of action and even missed India's triumphant Champions Trophy campaign.
Rohit Sharma will be leading the Indian cricket team in the upcoming Test series against England despite his poor show in Australia, according to a report by PTI. "Rohit Sharma is expected to lead the India senior team in England despite his modest outings and two Test series defeats against New Zealand and Australia," the report claimed. Rohit had a horrible outing in Australia where he scored just 31 runs in 3 matches and even decided to drop himself for the final Test encounter in Sydney. However, the selectors are expected to not remove him from captaincy following India's Champions Trophy 2025 triumph.
Afghanistan's premier spinner, Rashid Khan, broke India's prime pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah's record to become the third-fastest to reach 150 Indian Premier League (IPL) wickets. Rashid achieved the momentous feat during the Gujarat Titans season opener against Punjab Kings. He had a sole scalp to show for his name in Titan's narrow 11-run defeat, but it was enough to take him past Bumrah and become the third-fastest to reach 150 scalps in the cash-rich league.
Premier fast bowler Kagiso Rabada will "heavily consider" captaining South African national team if CSA offers him the top job and is not averse to the tough multi-tasking which is essential for the role. Rabada along with Jasprit Bumrah and Pat Cummins forms the great modern pace bowlers' troika. Among them, Cummins is the regular Australian captain while Bumrah has been a stop-gap leader in Tests and T20Is for India. Now, Rabada wants to join them if given the opportunity and the 29-year-old is contemplating about the mental shift he needs to make for the big responsibility.
The Indian cricket team won the T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy title in the last year but their form in red-ball cricket has been less than satisfying. The side, that slumped to series losses against New Zealand and Australia, will next take on England in a much-anticipated five-match series. England has been a tricky place for India with travel and although the teams are evenly matched on paper, England batter Ben Duckett believes that the hosts will easily emerge victorious.
Mark Boucher, the former South Africa cricketer who served as Mumbai Indians head coach in last two seasons of the IPL, said the side always looks a lot better when Jasprit is there, adding that his absence for the initial matches of IPL 2025 isn't a great sign for them. Bumrah is currently undergoing rehab at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (formerly the National Cricket Academy) in Bengaluru for a lower back injury which prevented him from bowling in the second innings of fifth Test at Sydney. Since then, Bumrah has been out of action and even missed India's triumphant Champions Trophy campaign.
