More than 300 wickets … the affair of the batsmen, the magical bowler’s entry in Mumbai Indians – Afghanistan Star Bowler Mujeb Ur Rahman Rahman Replaces Injured Am Ghazanfar in Mumbai Indians Squad for IPL 2025

New Delhi: Five -time champions Mumbai Indians on Sunday announced the contracting of Afghanistan’s off -spinner Mujib ur Rehman. Mujib will replace his own country spinner Allah Ghaznafar who has been ruled out of IPL 2025 due to injury. Afghanistan’s 18 -year -old spinner has been fractured in L4 vertebra and will not be able to play in the Champions Trophy.

Gajanfar was hurt recently

Gajanfar was hurt during Afghanistan’s recent Zimbabwe visit. Mumbai Indians said in a statement, “Mumbai Indians wishes Gajanfar to get well soon and welcome Mujib to our family.” Mujib was one of the youngest players representing Afghanistan and had immediate impact, which gave him a chance to debut in IPL at the age of 17.

Mujib’s career is fantastic
