• Playing in 19 IPL matches before this season.

• Taking 19 wickets in the league so far.

• Being a crucial part of Afghanistan’s T20 and ODI squads over the years.

What Mujeeb Brings to Mumbai Indians

Mujeeb’s skill set makes him a valuable addition to the franchise, especially on spin-friendly pitches. His experience in various T20 leagues worldwide ensures that he can handle high-pressure situations.

Fans are eagerly watching to see how Mujeeb performs in the IPL 2025 season, with hopes that he will deliver match-winning spells for Mumbai Indians. His ability to bowl in powerplays and middle overs will be crucial for the team’s success.
