Jasprit Bumrah is already regarded as a Mumbai Indians legend and is a big match-winner with the ball, whether he is bowling in the powerplay or at the death. Though he has not led the franchise in the tournament his cool and calm demeanor and game IQ can be enough to make him the reserve leader for the team in place of the swashbuckling all-rounder. 

Bumrah has not had a long stint in captaincy yet, but he has shown great leadership in Test matches. He has led the Indian team in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, where the team went on to beat the hosts at the Adelaide Oval. The fans will be interested to see what plans he might have in the shorter format of the game.
