Despite missing IPL 2023, Bumrah recovered in time to play in the 2023 ODI World Cup, which was held in India. He was the tournament’s fourth-highest wicket taker with 20 dismissals as India bagged a runners-up finish.
He was also in sizzling form during the recent Test series at home against England, taking 19 wickets in total. Meanwhile, in the second Test, he ended up as the joint-fastest (34 matches) Indian bowler and fastest Indian pacer to reach 150 wickets in Tests. He also became the first Indian pacer to reach no. 1 spot in ICC Test Player Rankings, and the first bowler to achieve top spot in rankings of all three formats.
Bumrah will also be playing under a new MI skipper, with Hardik Pandya having replaced Rohit as captain. MI released Pandya ahead of the 2022 season, and he was purchased by Gujarat Titans, who made him captain. He led GT to the title in their debut season, followed by a runners-up finish. He rejoined MI in a shock transfer ahead of the auction last year in what can be seen as a transition move by the MI management.
