Mitchell Santner ruled out IPL 2026: Mumbai Indians have suffered a big setback during IPL 2026. The team’s star all-rounder Mitchell Santner has been ruled out of the entire tournament due to injury, which is going to have a direct impact on Mumbai’s strategy. Mitchell Santner suffered a shoulder injury during the match played against Chennai Super Kings. He suffered this injury while trying to catch a catch near the boundary, after which he has now been ruled out of the entire season.
Replacement announced
Mumbai Indians have included experienced South African spinner Keshav Maharaj in the team as a replacement for Santner. This was confirmed by the IPL in a statement issued on April 27. IPL said in its statement that Mumbai Indians (MI) have signed South African spinner Keshav Maharaj as a replacement for Mitchell Santner, who has been ruled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 due to a left shoulder injury. Santner suffered the injury while trying to take a catch near the boundary during MI’s last home match against Chennai Super Kings.
Santner’s exclusion is considered a big loss for Mumbai Indians, because he has been making important contributions to the team with both bat and ball. Now it will be interesting to see how much impact Keshav Maharaj can leave for the team.
