MI vs RCB, IPL 2025: The most famous jersey number 93 in the history of the game, Jasprit Bumrah's long injury-induced absence from cricket is finally set to end, as he has been cleared to bowl in Mumbai Indians' match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on Monday.

Bumrah was out of action since the fifth and final Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Sydney against Australia in January.

With just one win from four matches, the star pacer's return comes at a crucial time for Mumbai, who are looking to turnaround to their campaign.

Interestingly, Bumrah made his debut in IPL against RCB and took the wicket of Virat Kohli in that game. Since then both players have come a long way and it will be once again Bumrah vs Kohli on Monday.

Meanwhile, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra said that Bumrah's record vs RCB was amazing.

"Jasprit Bumrah is back. Our guy has returned. He is ready for the game and will play as well. His record against Bangalore is amazing. He also made his debut against this team. He has taken 29 wickets in 19 innings against this team," Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel ahead of MI vs RCB at Wankhede.

"If Bumrah is available, let's just picture and see how Mumbai's bowling attack would look - Jasprit Bumrah, Deepak Chahar, and Trent Boult. Deepak hasn't been at his best thus far. He has picked up wickets for sure, but hasn't been his usual self yet. The swing has also reduced, but it might all change tonight," he added.
