Game 3 of the ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) 2025 saw Chennai Super Kings take on Mumbai Indians. Both sides faced off at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on March 23. Ahead of the high-octane match, after Mumbai Indians announced their playing XI, many fans noticed the absence of ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah.
It is interesting to note that Jasprit Bumrah will be unavailable for Mumbai Indians for the first few matches of the ongoing IPL 2025. The star pacer got injured during the final Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, and still has not managed to recover from his injuries.
It was informed that Jasprit Bumrah will miss the first few matches of MI in the IPL 2025 due to his ongoing injury issues. It is likely that MI will be missing some significant starpower in their squad due to Bumrah’s injury problems.
Speaking of the game between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, the clash saw CSK coming in to bowl first, and the five-time champions immediately put Mumbai Indians under pressure.
Star batter Rohit Sharma departed for a duck in the first innings as Chennai Super Kings took the game right towards the visitors. After the quick dismissals in the top order, MI will have to put in a good performance with the bat in the first innings if they are looking to post a fighting total on the board against Ruturaj’s Chennai Super Kings.
