Jasprit Bumrah is enduring a rare slump in IPL 2026, going wicketless in seven of ten matches. Sunil Gavaskar said, "Bumrah is giving his best," added, "he is overdoing things," and noted, "he should go back to his basics." He also highlighted technical issues like fuller lengths, drifting lines, and no-balls affecting Bumrah's rhythm and consistency this season.
