[Watch] Mumbai Indians pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer interact during the WPL 2023 final

Ace Mumbai Indians pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer were in attendance to support their women's team in the final of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2023 against Delhi Capitals on Sunday (March 26).

At the mega auction of the IPL last year, MI brought in Jofra Archer into their squad, but he missed last season due to an injury issue. Fans were hoping to see him in action alongside Jasprit Bumrah in IPL 2023. However, a long-term back injury has ruled Bumrah out of the upcoming season, denying the fans a chance to see the duo bowl in tandem.

MI took to their official Instagram handle recently to give fans a glimpse of the interaction between Bumrah and Archer during the WPL 2023 final. They captioned the video:
