Niggle behind slump? Jayawardene on Bumrah's struggling form

Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is enduring a rare wicketless streak in IPL 2026, going five matches without success. Despite this, coach Mahela Jayawardene backs his bowler, citing a minor World Cup niggle and a need for luck. The Mumbai Indians bowling unit, however, admits to lacking penetration this season, contributing to their current ninth-place standing.
