Mumbai will enter the season without star pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrak, who has been sidelined with injury for months, is yet to return to fitness. But even with Bumrak out, Mumbai are confident that English pacer Jofra Archer will play every match for Mumbai Indians during the season. Archer, who was suffering from an injury earlier, has regained full fitness. Jofra Archer, who was suffering from injury following making his debut for England, had a long delay in his return.

But now it is certain that Archer will be able to play the entire IPL season. Archer’s workload during the tournament will be closely monitored by the Mumbai Indians and the English Cricket Board. Archer has not played in the Indian Premier League since 2020. Just before IPL 2021, the player was out of the tournament due to an elbow injury.
Despite his fitness problems, Mumbai Indians bought Archer in the auction for Rs 8 crore and surprised everyone. Archer’s return will sharpen the Mumbai team’s death over attack.
