thebalanced.newsExperts Discuss Jasprit Bumrah's Struggles and Usage in IPL 2026
Jasprit Bumrah has struggled in IPL 2026, taking only three wickets in 10 matches with a high economy rate. Former India assistant coach Sanjay Bangar suggests Mumbai Indians are not using him optimally, while cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar attributes Bumrah's dip to trying too many new techniques, affecting his rhythm and pace. Despite these challenges, experts believe a return to basics could help him regain form as MI fights to stay in playoff contention.
