Is Mumbai Indians line-up ready to handle IPL 2025 without Bumrah?  

How does Mumbai Indians Bowling Line-up Without Bumrah look like for IPL 2025?

The Mumbai Indians have always been synonymous with a stellar bowling attack, led by the charismatic Jasprit Bumrah. However, there’s no clarity whether Bumrah will take part in the upcoming IPL season or not. We look at Mumbai Indians bowling line-up without Bumrah.

Jasprit Bumrah was named player of the series in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, capturing 32 wickets in five games. During the Sydney Test, the speedster suffered a back spasm and was unable to bowl in the final test’s second innings. He was not selected for the upcoming England series, and there is currently no confirmation of his participation in the Champions Trophy. 

If Bumrah misses the IPL 2025 due to workload management, Team India will have to fly to England in June for a five-match series, questions arise about whether Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar can fill the void and maintain MI’s bowling dominance. 

MI’s bowling line-up without Bumrah 

Trent Boult brings a wealth of experience and skill to the table. Known for his ability to swing the new ball and deliver in crucial moments, Boult has been a consistent performer in the IPL and on the international stage. His left-arm angle and knack for picking wickets in the powerplay could be pivotal for MI.  

However, the absence of Bumrah’s partnership at the other end might increase pressure on Boult to deliver in both the powerplay and death overs, a task that demands extraordinary precision and stamina. 

Deepak Chahar, on the other hand, is a crafty swing bowler who thrives in the early overs. His ability to move the ball both ways and dismiss batters with subtle variations makes him a valuable asset.  

Chahar’s performances in previous IPL seasons have showcased his potential, but his success often hinges on conditions favoring swing. With the added responsibility of stepping up in Bumrah’s absence, Chahar will need to adapt quickly and deliver consistently across different phases of the game. 

Despite their individual brilliance, Boult and Chahar’s effectiveness as a pair remains uncertain. MI will need other bowlers, such as Hardik Pandya or young talents like Allah Ghazanfar, to step up and provide support. The team’s spin department, led by players like Mitchell Santner, will also play a crucial role in controlling the middle overs. 

Ultimately, while Boult and Chahar have the skills to lead MI’s bowling attack, replacing a generational talent like Bumrah is no easy feat. Their success will depend not only on their individual performances but also on how well the bowling unit gels as a collective force. MI’s ability to manage this challenge could determine their fate in this IPL season.
