Jasprit Bumrah is all set to make his on-field return for Mumbai Indians (MI) soon. The right-arm pacer has joined the MI's camp before their game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), scheduled to be played at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday (April 7). Bumrah isn't confirmed to be part of the fixture.
Bumrah has missed four games for MI so far. With only 1 win from 4 matches, the Hardik Pandya-led side is reeling at the 8th spot in the points table. Bumrah's addition to the MI camp is a big boost for them.

He is just six wickets away from overtaking Lasith Malinga. The IPL legend finished his career with 170 wickets in 122 matches. Malinga's last appearance for MI came in the IPL 2019 final, where he bowled the 20th over to propel them to their fourth IPL title win.
