Jasprit Bumrah's Loss of Sharpness Postmortemed: ‘He Is Trying Too Many Things’
Former India coach Ravi Shastri attributed Jasprit Bumrah's poor IPL 2026 performance to mental fatigue and heavy workload, urging Mumbai Indians to manage his fitness carefully due to upcoming international commitments.
Bumrah has taken only three wickets in ten IPL matches this season, with an economy rate over eight runs per over, contributing to Mumbai Indians' low rank on the points table.
Sunil Gavaskar observed that Bumrah is trying too many new things in his bowling, disrupting his natural rhythm and causing issues like loss of pace and poor line control, and advised him to simplify his bowling approach.
Despite these struggles, there is confidence that Bumrah can bounce back with proper physical and mental care from Mumbai Indians.
