Raghu Sharma replaces injured Vignesh Puthur in the Mumbai Indians squad for the remainder of the IPL season.
MI sign legspinner Raghu Sharma as replacement for injured Vignesh Puthur.
Due to bone stress reactions in both of his shins, Vignesh Puthur will not be participating in the 2025 Indian Premier League.
Earlier this season, Puthur made a remarkable debut by taking three wickets against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). At an economy rate of 9.08, he claimed six wickets overall in five games.
At his basic price of INR 30 lakh, Raghu, 32, who was a member of MI’s net bowlers, joins the main team. Like Puthur, this will be his first IPL season.
Over the years, he has played domestic cricket for Punjab and Puducherry. He has taken 57 wickets at an average of 19.59 in 11 first-class games. In nine List A matches and three T20 matches, he has claimed 14 wickets.
MI only won one of its five games in the competition, which was a disappointing start. With 12 points from ten games, they are now ranked third in the standings after stacking five consecutive victories.
