In the latest developments regarding India's ace pacer, Jasprit Bumrah has been advised to take bed rest at home and will not be rushed to cricketing action. As per the reports, Bumrah will report to BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.  

Questions automatically arise about Bumrah's availability in the ICC Champions Trophy and the next edition of the Indian Premier League. Bumrah has previously suffered from back issues and missed an edition of IPL. It is possible that Bumrah might not play in the next edition of the tournament. Let us look at how MI performed the last time they had to play without their ace pacer.

When Did Bumrah Last Miss IPL?

The last time Jasprit Bumrah missed IPL was in 2023. He was absent from the tournament due to surgery for a stress factor on his back. 

In Bumrah's absence, the young Indian pacer Akash Madhwal took the role of MI's lead pacer. He delivered some brilliant shows in the tournament and picked up 14 wickets in eight matches at an average of 15.64 while maintaining an economy of 8.58.

Besides Madhwal, the Australian speedster Jason Behrendorff also played a crucial role in the team. He played in 12 matches during the tournament and picked up 14 wickets, with an average of 27.64 and maintaining an economy of 9.21.

Where Did Mumbai Indians Finish In IPL 2023?

Mumbai Indians stuttered during the league stages but finally made the playoffs as the fourth team in the points table. They managed to win eight matches on the league stage and qualify two points clear for the next team in the standing, i.e., the Rajasthan Royals. 

In the playoffs, the Mumbai Indians defeated the Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator and then made it to the Qualifier 2. However, in Qualifier 2, they lost against Gujarat Titans and bowed out of the tournament.
