The blow lands at a time when MI are already fighting to find momentum, sitting ninth in the standings with four points from seven matches.<\/p>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Mitchell Santner has been ruled out of the remainder of IPL 2026 due to a shoulder injury.<\/li>\n<li>MI are currently ninth in the points table, collecting four points from seven games.<\/li>\n<li>Santner sustained the injury during MI\u2019s match against Chennai Super Kings at Wankhede Stadium.<\/li>\n<li>He was replaced by Shardul Thakur as a concussion substitute after the incident.<\/li>\n<li>MI have signed South African spinner all-rounder Keshav Maharaj as Santner\u2019s replacement for the rest of the season, for INR 75 lakh.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Injury details from the CSK clash<\/h2>\n<p>The problem occurred during Mumbai Indians\u2019 encounter with Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium. Santner made a boundary-side diving catch to dismiss Kartik Sharma off Jasprit Bumrah, but he landed awkwardly and immediately appeared to trouble his shoulder and head in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Shardul Thakur was brought in as the concussion substitute. The match also brought concerns beyond the immediate injury, with MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene explaining that Santner went in for scans after reporting dizziness following the fall.<\/p>\n<p>Jayawardene said Santner first struck his head, before the impact extended to his neck and shoulder. He added that the all-rounder felt unstable, prompting the team to send him for a scan.<\/p>\n<h2>Maharaj added as Santner\u2019s replacement<\/h2>\n<p>In a quick response, Mumbai Indians moved to bring in Keshav Maharaj to cover Santner\u2019s absence for the remainder of the tournament. The Indian Premier League confirmed the update, stating that Maharaj joined the franchise for a fee of INR 75 lakh.<\/p>\n<p>A left-arm spin-bowling all-rounder from South Africa, Maharaj comes with recent international exposure, having played in a T20I series against New Zealand. While his IPL track record is limited\u2014he featured in two matches for Rajasthan Royals in 2024\u2014MI will be looking for his control and repeatable line lengths to bring steadiness to their bowling plans.<\/p>\n<h2>Next challenge for MI<\/h2>\n<p>With injuries continuing to mount, Mumbai now face a difficult task if they are to turn their season around. Their next match is against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday, and MI will hope the introduction of Maharaj provides the kind of spark they have been missing in what has so far been a disappointing campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mitchell Santner\u2019s shoulder injury has dealt a major mid-season setback to Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026, with the New Zealand
