CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Mumbai Indians (MI) have announced the signing of leg-spinner Raghu Sharma as a replacement for the injured Vignesh Puthur ahead of their upcoming IPL 2025 fixtures. This move comes after Puthur sustained a shoulder injury that has ruled him out for the remainder of the season. Raghu Sharma, a promising domestic talent, has been making waves in the Indian domestic circuit with his ability to turn the ball sharply and pick up key wickets in the middle overs.
