Jasprit Bumrah Has Been Central To Mumbai Indians' Plans

Bumrah has been pivotal to Mumbai Indians' success and is their second highest wicket taker after Lasith Malinga. Mumbai handed debuts to Vignesh Puthur and Ashwaini Kumar this season, but their overall bowling performance hasn't been satisfactory. Mumbai brought in the likes of Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult, but their struggle has been quite evident. Bumrah also missed out on a place in the Champions Trophy squad and was replaced by KKR fast bowler Harshit Rana.

Keeping in mind the upcoming England Test series, Bumrah's fitness will be of paramount importance for Rohit Sharma . Bumrah ended as the highest wicket taker against Australia in the five match Test series and the onus will be on him once again.
