Is Jasprit Bumrah Leaving Mumbai Indians To Join Royal Challengers Bangalore?

A hot debate is raging in the cricket world about Jasprit Bumrah parting his ways from Mumbai Indians and joining Royal Challengers Bangalore. The debate has been precipitated after viewing the Instagram story of Jasprit Bumrah and many questions are being raised about the pacer’s future with Mumbai Indians.

The start of the debate was also provoked by Hardik Pandya’s homecoming to Mumbai Indians from Gujarat Titans. This was a monumental development as GT-captain Hardik left the Titans for the Mumbai Indians. With the window of transfers still open, we can see many more such transfers ahead to the IPL 2024 auctions.

Fans are also closely watching the social media activity of Jasprit Bumrah and are trying to understand his forthcoming moves and if he is finding other avenues of engagement or going to stay with MI.

A scrutiny of Bumrah’s Instagram handle reveals that the ace pace bowler has stopped following Mumbai Indians and this has led to speculations of his intent and also raised questions if he is going to stay with MI.

Unconfirmed rumors hint that Jasprit could be joining Royal Challengers Bangalore. However this is not true and past media reports suggest that the fast bowler does not follow any IPL teams on social media.

Jasprit Bumrah opened his stint with IPL when he was contracted by Mumbai Indians and has represented them in 120 IPL matches to date. He had 145 scalps to his credit and did not play in the 2023 IPL edition due to a back injury. However, he is back now with a bang and recently played in the ICC 2023 World Cup and will surely feature in the 2024 IPL edition.

The Mumbai Indians which saw the trade of Cameron Green to Royal Challengers Bangalore in an all-cash deal also are upbeat with the arrival of Hardik Pandya into their fold.

Will Jasprit Bumrah leave Mumbai Indians and join Royal Challengers Bangalore?

There are two planks of opinion. While a section of fans have come to the conclusion that Jasprit Bumrah has already left Mumbai Indians to join Royal Challengers Bangalore, others are of the opinion that there is no reason for this to happen and Bumrah will stay with the five-time IPL champions. However, it is a possibility that cannot be completely negated.

More so after Bumrah shared a post on his Instagram handle on Tuesday with a cryptic message ‘Silence is sometimes the best answer.’
