Jasprit Bumrah, the ace pacer for the Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2026, is facing significant challenges, having taken just 3 wickets in 10 matches. His bowling average stands at a troubling 109.66, with an economy rate nearing 9. Former Indian opener Sadagoppan Ramesh has expressed concerns regarding Bumrah's fitness, noting that he is averaging only 129-130 KPH this season, which is below his typical speed. Ramesh emphasized that Bumrah's effectiveness relies on his ability to bowl yorkers at higher speeds, and the current performance is not conducive to wicket-taking. The impact of Bumrah's struggles is evident as MI sits in ninth place on the points table, having secured only three wins. Ramesh also pointed out that Bumrah's poor form is likely causing anxiety among the other MI bowlers, further complicating the team's situation as they navigate the season.
