Mumbai Indians Rising Star Vignesh Puthur Ruled Out of IPL 2025. Injuries put a big dent in the Mumbai Indians (MI) as Vignesh Puthur had to sit out IPL 2025 due to injury. Mumbai has signed Raghu Sharma as a replacement. MI was optimistic concerning his promise and on the brink of something great. Puthur’s loss, however, is a huge setback considering his first match and all he created.
Vignesh Puthur Story
The 24-year-old left-handed Kerala-born wrist spinner, Vignesh Puthur, grabbed headlines for an astonishing debut against Chennai Super Kings on March 23, 2025. Puthur’s story has been inspirational for a long time in the IPL. Coming from a humble background—his father is an autorickshaw driver. On debut, he took three important wickets against Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube and was his team’s main star.

In IPL 2025, Vignesh took 6 wickets in 9 matches. However, this season has become how it turned out, as Puthur is injured. The diagnosis is unclear, but it ended up being serious enough to eliminate him from those particular considerations for the remaining part of the tournament.
Raghu Sharma Steps in for Mumbai Indians
The known performer in domestic cricket adds experience and depth to the MI bowling unit. He is expected to bring new vigour to the spin department as they battle their way through the rest of the season without their young star.
