Former India opener Aakash Chopra analyzed Jasprit Bumrah's performance in IPL 2026. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra discussed Bumrah's recent game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, where the bowler conceded 54 runs in four overs and failed to take a wicket. Bumrah was hit for at least one six in each over. Chopra noted that Bumrah bowled only one ball above 140 kmph. He mentioned the opposition scored heavily, with multiple players hitting sixes. The MI team struggled, with Bumrah conceding many runs. MI's decision to bring back Hardik Pandya didn't improve their performance. MI finished last in the IPL 2024 points table and didn't make the playoffs in IPL 2025. MI has a slim chance of making it to the playoffs of IPL 2026. Bumrah struggled to take wickets in the initial matches of IPL 2026, finally getting one against Gujarat Titans and another against Chennai Super Kings. In the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Bumrah conceded 54 runs. MI's bowling attack was expensive, and MI lost the match.
