Jasprit Bumrah joins Mumbai Indians before IPL 2026 opener; overseas players Will Jacks and Mitchell Santner delayed, raising selection and wicketkeeping concerns.
- Ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah joined the Mumbai Indians squad ahead of their March 29 clash against the Kolkata Knight Riders at Wankhede Stadium, considered routine ahead of the tournament.
- The Hardik Pandya-led side faces KKR after failing to win their opening game for 13 years straight, though they hold a poor head-to-head record against their opponents.
- KKR faces wicketkeeping uncertainty after head coach Abhishek Nayar previously considered Angkrish Raghuvanshi, now complicated by acquisitions of Finn Allen, Tim Seifert, and Tejasvi Dahiya.
- England's Will Jacks and New Zealand's Mitchell Santner remain absent from the squad, with no official update provided regarding the reason for their delayed arrival.
- Facing KKR bowlers Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy will prove difficult, but if Bumrah plays, the Mumbai Indians will certainly be favorites to start their campaign positively.
