Bumrah will spearhead Mumbai Indians pace battery after making a comeback to the side. He joins the side at the back of his brilliant performance against England in the home Test series, where he scalped 19 wickets, and became the joint-fastest Indian fast bowler to reach 150 wickets in the longest format.
It helped him become the first Indian fast bowler to rise to No.1 ranking in Tests and first bowler to achieve that spot in all three formats.
The Ahmedabad-native was also a part of the India’s run to the final at the 2023 World Cup. He was the fourth-highest wicket taker with 20 scalps to his name.
Mumbai Indians will begin their campaign against Gujarat Titans on March 24.
