'No Talks Regarding...': MI Star Confirms No Plans To Rest Bumrah Amidst T20 World Cup Concerns

As the curtains slowly draw on a disappointing IPL season for Mumbai Indians (MI), the focus sharply shifts to the management of Jasprit Bumrah's workload.

With MI's hopes for the playoffs now just a mathematical impossibility, the concern isn't about securing a spot in the top tier but rather about safeguarding their star bowler for battles yet to come.

Jasprit Bumrah will be India's main weapon at T20 World Cup 2024

Despite the team’s underwhelming performance this season, Jasprit Bumrah has been sensational, leading the IPL 2024 Purple Cap race with a remarkable tally of 17 wickets in just 11 matches.

His stellar performance has been highlighted by a miserly economy rate of 6.45 and a stellar average of 16.11.

However, as the T20 World Cup 2024 approaches, the cricket community is buzzing with debates on whether MI should ease Bumrah's load to prevent potential burnout.


Voices from the cricketing world have suggested that the wise move would be to rest Bumrah in the remaining fixtures. Yet, Mumbai Indians' management has remained tight-lipped, with no clear direction indicating a shift towards workload management.

Addressing the media, MI batsman Naman Dhir shed some light on the internal discussions—or the apparent lack thereof.

"Right now there are no talks regarding this, but it’s up to the management to take a decision," said Dhir, hinting at the ongoing deliberations that might be taking place behind closed doors.

While acknowledging the looming World Cup, he stated that the final call would rest with the team management.

As MI steers through the remaining games of the season, the decision to rest or play Bumrah hangs like a sword of Damocles over the team’s strategy meetings.

With nothing left to lose in the IPL and everything to gain on the global stage in the upcoming World Cup, the pressure is mounting on MI's management to make a call that could either safeguard their jewel or risk his brilliance in the pursuit of late-season redemption.
