Jasprit Bumrah will be making his much-awaited return in the ongoing season of Indian Premier League (IPL) against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Wankhede Stadium on April 7, confirmed Mumbai Indians coach Mahela Jayawardene on Sunday.

Having missed the ICC Champions Trophy for India, Jasprit Bumrah was initially about to join his Mumbai Indians teammates after their third game. He joined his teammates on Sunday.

The world no.1 pacer comes after receiving medical clearance from the BCCI’s medical team at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, where he had been undergoing rehabilitation since January.

“He is available, he is training today, so he should play,” said Mahela Jayawardene at the pre-match press conference. “He arrived last night, he had his sessions with NCA (now Centre of Excellence) to finalise that, he’s been handed over to our physios. He’s bowling today, so all good,” added the former Sri Lankan skipper.
