IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians' Kieron Pollard Lifts Jasprit Bumrah On His Shoulder; Social Media Reacts

Mumbai Indians ace bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who missed out initial matches of Indian Premier League (IPL 2025), is now totally fit and back with the team. Bumrah's return has injected a new confidence and happiness in the team. Surely, he is a match-winning bowler, and with his presence, MI is going to have advantage in the bowling department against any side.

A video of joy in MI paltan is going viral on the internet, which shows, former cricketer Kieron Pollard lifting him on his shoulder and all were in smile.

Jasprit Bumrah was away from cricket following his back injury, which he suffered during the Border Gavaskar Trophy's Sydney Test. He also missed out the crucial Champions Trophy 2025, which was fortunately won by India in a dominating manner.

Bumrah's slow recovery also made him miss the first few encounters of IPL, but now the pacer is again set with his deadly and entertaining Yorkers.

Social Media reactions to MI's warm welcome for Jasprit Bumrah:

Most of the people enjoyed the great gesture by MI teammates, but a few also highlighted injury concerns. A Mumbai Indians fan reacted to the video on X stating: "Fragile. Please handle with care, India's Kohinoor. We have an important five-match Test tour against England coming in June."

Another fan advised Pollard be gentle with Bumrah. "Araamse yaar (Gently, my friend), handle him with care!!"

"Dheere Pollard Bhai, dubara injured mat kar dena (Gently, don't injure him again)," said one more MI fan.

In Jasprit Bumrah's absence, Mumbai Indian's won against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), but faced back-to-back defeats versus Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Gujarat Titans (GT), and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).

Today, MI will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru at their home ground, and fans would expect Jasprit Bumrah to make a solid comeback.
