(Photo: Sandeep Mahankal/IANS) Before the start of IPL 2024, a very bad news had come out for the five-time champion Mumbai Indians. Let us tell you that the team’s fast bowler Jason Behrendorff is out of IPL due to injury. He suffered a serious injury while practicing with the team. Let us tell you that he has got Fabula factor in his left leg. It is going to take him at least 8 weeks to recover from this injury, due to which he is out of the entire IPL season. However, now the cricketer will have his eyes set on playing in the T20 World Cup 2024 starting from June 2. But after the injury, it is going to be very difficult for him to make a place in Australia’s 15-member team. As far as possible, Cricket Australia is currently looking towards Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins for fast bowling in the T20 World Cup. Had an amazing performance against India However, Behrendorff’s performance in the shortest format of the game has been commendable. This left-arm bowler has taken 19 wickets in 17 T20 matches played for Australia, but his art of taking wickets in the powerplay makes him special among other bowlers. So last year, Jason had performed amazingly for the Kangaroo team in the five-match T20 series against India and recently in the limited overs series against West Indies at home. The 33-year-old bowler was Australia’s highest wicket-taker in the T20 series against India. So taking wickets in every T20 match against West Indies is enough to show Jason’s consistency. But now it will be worth seeing whether he is fit before the T20 World Cup starting from June 2 or not?
