Jasprit Bumrah, the celebrated fast bowler, rejoined the Mumbai Indians squad on Sunday, providing a significant boost ahead of their Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The confirmation of his fitness clearance for the tournament is still awaited.

Mumbai Indians shared the news on social media with enthusiasm, declaring, "Once a cub now a lion, the lion is back to be the king of the jungle again."
