MI vs RCB, IPL 2025: With Jasprit Bumrah set for a comeback, the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) can take a sigh of relief as their worries on the bowling front will be subsided when they take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their IPL 2025 match at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.

The speedster was sidelined since India’s final Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia in January due to a back injury and he also missed Champions Trophy and IPL’s early matches.

Now fit, Bumrah will be eager to start his season on a high note when picked in MI's playing XI for the RCB match.

On Sunday, Bumrah's return to an active net session for the first time since January this year was a remarkable sight -- Mumbai Indians' batting coach Kieron Pollard lifted him on his shoulders, the ace pace rolled his arm over for a round of left-arm spin before proceeding to trouble batters with his mastery.

Millions of fans across the nation too would have received the news of his availability for the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday, which was confirmed by head coach Mahela Jayawardene on Sunday.

Mumbai Indians will have their spearhead back, while the national team can genuinely hope to have Bumrah in their ranks when they embark on a tour of England in June.

But when he had the ball in his hands, Bumrah bowled without any obvious discomfort and fans can hope to see him go full tilt against star batter Virat Kohli at the Wankhede.

However, Kohli was conspicuous with his absence from the RCB nets and, rest assured, the master batter will be ready for the big duel on Monday.
