Bumrah’s IPL 2025 stats speak volumes: 18 wickets from 12 games at 17.56 average. The defending runners-up open against KKR at Wankhede on March 29, after last year’s Qualifier 2 heartbreak against Punjab Kings.

During his GeoStar commentary, Chopra dissected Bumrah’s role: ‘The pressure comes with the name. He influences every match, secures wickets, and controls run flow. Those four overs – powerplay, middle, death – are gold for MI. No matter how well Bolt or Chahar perform, Bumrah shoulders the load.’

Selection headaches abound. A fit Trent Bolt and Deepak Chahar would pair with Bumrah and Hardik Pandya as the top four pacers. Shardul Thakur lurks as an alternative, but won’t leapfrog Chahar. All-rounder Corbin Bosch eyes opportunities, but overseas slots limit options.

Chopra highlighted the batting conundrum too. ‘Rohit and de Kock’s opening partnership needs to fire again. But squeezing in Will Jacks, Sherfane Rutherford, and Bosch with foreign bowlers? It’s the kind of problem every IPL franchise dreams of.’

MI’s depth is their strength and curse. With Bumrah leading the charge, they enter 2026 as title contenders, provided they crack the playing XI code.

In fact, a wild card entry has already happened in ‘Bigg Boss 19,’ that is, Shehbaz. Shehnaaz Gill herself reached the Bigg Boss 19 stage to get her brother in. He was supposed to enter earlier, but he lost the fight with Mridul Tiwari. Now, it has been revealed for whom Deepak Chahar has arrived in the show.

In the new promo, Salman Khan says, ‘People have been waiting since when to know who will be the second wild card contestant of this season. So, your entire family must have studied.’ On this, Deepak Chahar says, ‘I think this is more difficult than cricket. Because inside the house, you don’t even know who your enemy is and who your friend is.’ However, information had already been received that Deepak Chahar’s sister Malti is coming to participate in the show. Actually, brother Deepak Chahar himself came to the stage to drop Malti Chahar in the show. The video of which has also come out.

Deepak Chahar’s sister’s name is Malti Chahar. Who is a professional actor, as well as a director and writer. She has worked in the films Genius, Hush, 7 Fere- A Dream Housewife, and Sada Vyah Hoeya Ji so far. She has also been a peasant holder. Actually, Malti Chahar started her career with modeling. She has stepped into Bollywood with the 2017 film ‘Manicure.’ The actress is also very active on Instagram. She is followed by 1 million people. Now she is taking entry in Bigg Boss, which can completely change her career.
