Royal Challengers Bengaluru: India batting legend Sunil Gavaskar shared his thoughts on Mumbai Indians' star pacer Jasprit Bumrah's return to action in the IPL 2025 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday. Gavaskar noted that while the speedster bowled at his usual pace of over 140 kmph, his confidence would build with a few more games and he could soon hit the 150 kmph mark.

Bumrah, who has undergone treatment and rehabilitation since pulling up short with a lower back injury during the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Sydney this January, recorded the figures of 0-29 in his four overs against RCB.

Speaking on Bumrah’s performance on JioHotstar, Gavaskar said, "The first and foremost thing was seeing him come in steaming and bowling at his usual pace - over 140 kmph. I believe that with a few more games under his belt, he’ll likely hit 150 kmph as he gains more confidence in his back and feels secure enough to bowl at full tilt."
