Bumrah, who was retained for Rs 18 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auctions, last played a competitive match on January 5 against Australia.
Star Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who has been out of action these days due to a lower back injury, has started bowling in the nets at NCA. In a video going viral on the internet, the 31-year-old pacer from Ahmedabad can be seen bowling.

MI to face KKR on Monday
After losing their first two matches of IPL 2025 by 4 wickets against CSK on Sunday (March 23) and by 36 runs against Gujarat Titans on Saturday (March 29), Mumbai Indians will face defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in their third league stage match on Monday (March 31). The match No. 12 of IPL 2025 is scheduled to take place at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Bumrah is unlikely to play in the match vs KKR, but there are high chances that he will return to action in the middle of April.
