The 12th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) started with the injuries of several players for nearly all franchises. Moreover, the ICC World Cup is also around the corner which will start within two-week after the completion of the IPL. However, it was advised that some players will be rested for the unimportant games. Mumbai Indians’ bowler Jasprit Bumrah is one of the main bowlers for India who is also very prone to injuries. He got hurt in the first game against Delhi capitals at the Wankhede Stadium.

Recently, Bumrah was seen with a black spot around his right eye. It was seen during the game between Mumbai and Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Saturday. Bumrah is one of the best death bowlers in the world right now. However, sources shared that he got injured during practice.

“He was hit by a ball during training. Luckily, the balls used for fielding are slightly softer and it was just a bruise and there was no serious impact on the eye,” the source said as quoted by The Quint.

Earlier, Patrick Farhat, the India team physio had contacted immediately to Nitin Patel, the physio of Mumbai Indians about Bumrah’s injury after the first game. Though it was a shoulder spasm, he didn’t come out to bat as a precautionary measure.

“He was fit and it was just a case of shoulder spasm, nothing serious at all. He is an integral part of both Team India and Mumbai Indians and with the World Cup around the corner, the management felt it was best to keep him away from the batting crease,” the source expressed.
