Jasprit Bumrah in good nick; Mumbai Indians want to ease him into competition: Jayawardene

MUMBAI: (Apr 8) India pacer Jasprit Bumrah is in “good nick” following a three-month-long injury lay-off and Mumbai Indians want to ease him into competition mode in the Indian Premier League, said head coach Mahela Jayawardene.

Bumrah made his return to top flight cricket here on Monday in MI’s IPL clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru after another back-related trouble sidelining him in early January.

While he was welcomed back with a six over mid-wicket by India teammate Virat Kohli on the first ball, Bumrah couldn’t force matters on his own apart from a customary tidy spell as RCB notched up a 12-run win to hand MI their fourth loss in five matches.
