After leading India to a Perth win during Border-Gavaskar Trophy Bumrah must remain sidelined for team games. With Bumrah potentially returning by April 4 versus Lucknow or April 7 against RCB, Mumbai Indians expect their bowlers Boult and Chahar to hold up the defense until then under captain Hardik Pandya’s leadership.
