Mumbai Indians have moved to strengthen their squad by signing 21-year-old Punjab all-rounder Krish Bhagat as a replacement for Atharva Ankolekar, who has been ruled out of the IPL because of an injury that has not been specified. The move brings another home-grown option into MI\u2019s ranks ahead of the season\u2019s crucial stages.<\/p>\n

Replacement confirmed<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. MI have signed Krish Bhagat, aged 21, from Punjab, to fill the spot left by Atharva Ankolekar.<\/li>\n
  2. Ankolekar\u2019s IPL participation has ended after he was ruled out due to an unspecified injury.<\/li>\n
  3. Ankolekar is a left-arm spin all-rounder from Mumbai and has also represented India at the Under-19 level.<\/li>\n
  4. At this year\u2019s auction, MI bought Ankolekar for his base price of INR 30 lakh.<\/li>\n
  5. Bhagat will join Mumbai Indians at the same base price: INR 30 lakh.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    About Krish Bhagat<\/h2>\n

    Krish Bhagat is primarily a right-arm fast bowler, but he can also contribute with the bat when needed in the lower order. He has played seven first-class matches and nine List-A games for Punjab, giving him exposure across India\u2019s domestic pathways. Bhagat had attended MI\u2019s trials for the previous two seasons, and this year he was already part of the setup as a net bowler, before earning the opportunity to be signed for the IPL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
