For the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Mumbai Indians (MI) have signed Kumar Kartikeya Singh as a replacement for the injured Mohammad Arshad Khan.
Kartikeya has played 9 First-Class matches, 19 List A games, and 8 T20 matches for Madhya Pradesh in domestic cricket, taking 35, 18 and nine wickets, respectively.
For a fee of INR 20 lakh, the left-arm spinner will join the IPL's most successful team.
Arshad has been ruled out for the remainder of the IPL season due to an injury. Singh has been a member of the Mumbai Indians' support team and has now agreed to join the team for the 2022 season.
Kartikeya is a left-arm slow bowler who has represented MP in all three formats of cricket since his debut in 2018. He has impressed in the nets, and his dedication to refining and fine-tuning his bowling talents have earned him a spot in the main squad.
Five times champions, Mumbai Indians are struggling with a solitary win this season and languishing at the bottom of the table after 8 back-to-back losses. From not finding a balanced squad to big guns misfiring, Mumbai Indians will now face Rajasthan Royals searching for their first win.
