    Indian Premier League: Ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is set to captain the Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against Punjab Kings at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala on Thursday, with both regular captain Hardik Pandya and stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav unavailable.

    An IPL source told IANS that the franchise has given the leadership armband to Bumrah, who has been with MI in the IPL since 2013. This is the first time Bumrah will captain MI in the IPL. Bumrah’s past leadership experience has come via leading India in two 2024/25 Border‑Gavaskar Trophy Tests in Australia and in the rescheduled Birmingham Test against England in 2022.

    “Hardik and Suryakumar aren’t featuring in the game in Dharamshala due to varied reasons. Hardik is still recuperating from back spasms, though he did practice at the Reliance Corporate Park.
