Jasprit Bumrah, the renowned Indian pacer, has surprisingly gone wicketless in his first four matches of the season, raising concerns for the Mumbai Indians. In their recent match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, which marked their third consecutive defeat, Bumrah's figures stood at 0-35 from four overs, contributing to an overall economy rate of 8.20 runs per over. While former South African bowler Dale Steyn praised Bumrah's performance, highlighting his effective yorkers, he noted that the lack of wickets has intensified pressure on Mumbai's other bowlers. Trent Boult has struggled significantly, with just 1 wicket for 110 runs in three matches, and Deepak Chahar has been inconsistent. Mumbai's bowling unit has also been ineffective during the powerplay, managing only five wickets across four games. Despite the challenges, Mumbai's batting coach Kieron Pollard remains confident in Bumrah's capabilities, stating that his past performances assure them he will eventually find his wicket-taking form.
