Bumrah, given his experience and stature, would be key to India’s fortunes at that event and hence giving him a breather could augur well for the national side.

Mumbai: Mumbai Indians, who have had a shambolic IPL 2024, have already been eliminated with no chance of making the playoff. The Hardik Pandya-led side take on Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday at the Wankhede stadium. But, with MI out of the race for the playoff, isn’t it a good chance to give ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah a break? MI have three remaining matches and giving Bumrah rest would help him recharge his batteries and get fresh ahead of the much-awaited T20 World Cup in the USA and the West Indies. Bumrah, given his experience and stature, would be key to India’s fortunes at that event and hence giving him a breather could augur well for the national side.
