Spicy Updates for TATA IPL 2025
We brought you some stories that are already making headlines from the TATA IPL 2025.
- We observed that a significant change has taken place in the Mumbai Indians (MI) camp. The South African pacer Lizaad Williams has been ruled out of the IPL 2025 season due to a recent injury. This will create a huge problem for the Mumbai Indians.
- MI has brought in an experienced bowling all-rounder Corbin Bosch. To give you some context about Bosch, we have looked at his previous T20 records. He has played a total of 86 T20 matches and made his international debut in December last year. His addition to the Mumbai Indians (MI) bowling unit is expected to strengthen their attacking capacity and also to create more depth in the batting unit with his all-round capabilities.
- Mumbai Indians is not the only team that is facing problems due to unavoidable injuries to its key players. One such other team is Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). It has also faced a setback because its English pacer Brydon Carse is also going to miss the tournament due to injury.
- SRH has signed South African all-rounder Wiaan Mulder for a large sum of INR 75 lakhs. Mulder has the ability to contribute with both the bat as well as the ball. He is a versatile player, and SRH is looking to add depth to its comparatively weak batting order through his addition.
