Delhi: Prior to the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025), Mumbai Indians (MI) has decided to include Mujib ur Rehman in the team in place of injured star spinner Allah Ghaznafar. The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) had confirmed two days ago that Gajanfar would stay away from cricket for at least four months due to injury. He was hurt during the visit to Zimbabwe, which has led to his outdoors from IPL 2025.
Mujib ur Rehman did not find any buyer in the mega auction of IPL 2025, but now Mumbai Indians have given them a chance. The special thing is that in IPL 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had signed a base price of just Rs 20 lakh in the IPL 2024 instead of Mujib. However, he could not join the team due to visa problems. Now after the injury of Gajanfar, Mujib is returning to the IPL after four years.
Rahman last played in IPL 2021. He made his debut for Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2018 and took 14 wickets in 11 matches in the first season. After playing three seasons for Punjab, he represented Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2021, but could play only one match in that season and took two wickets.
Allah Gajanfar’s cricket career
18 -year -old Afghan spinner Allah Gajanfar has made her debut in all three formats in international cricket. He has played 11 ODIs and 19 T20I matches for Afghanistan, in which he has taken 21 and 30 wickets respectively.
