Mumbai Indians' big bet, this fast bowler is coming to play IPL after finishing Pakistan Super League

Indian Premier League 2024 is going to start on Friday, March 22. Cricketers from all over the world including India will participate in this biggest league of cricket. Before this, all the franchise teams were busy in their respective preparations, but for some teams, injury to players remains a matter of concern for the teams. Mumbai Indians' star batsman Suryakumar Yadav and fast bowler Jason Behrendorff are injured. Suryakumar Yadav may miss the first match due to not getting clearance from the BCCI medical team. At the same time, Mumbai Indians have announced the replacement of Jason Behrendorff.

Jason Behrendorff has been replaced by pacer Luke Wood of the Mumbai Indians. Wood plays for Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League 2024 (PSL 2024). Under Babar Azam's leadership, the left-arm fast bowler was the most wicket-taker for Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League. Wood claimed a total of 12 wickets at an economy rate of 8.24 during this time.

The Mumbai Indians, who have five IPL championships to their name, will be led by Hardik Pandya this season. Luke Wood has been added to the Mumbai Indians roster to replace Australian fast bowler Jason Behrendorff, who is injured. Luke Wood has so far represented England in five T20 Internationals and two ODIs. He is regarded as a T20 specialist pacer.

According to the Indian Premier League, 28-year-old Luke Wood will join Mumbai Indians for Rs 50 lakh.
