MI Grab Maharaj after Santner's Shoulder Blow

Mumbai Indians signed Keshav Maharaj as replacement for Mitchell Santner. The South Africa spinner joins for INR 75 lakh after Santner's left shoulder injury in the loss to Chennai Super Kings. Santner dived for a catch at Wankhede Stadium and took five wickets across four games.

MI sit ninth with two wins from seven matches and four points. Maharaj brings 54 T20I caps and 191 T20 wickets at 7.12 economy. He played for Rajasthan Royals before and featured in recent T20Is against New Zealand.

The 103-run defeat left MI's spin options thin. Maharaj bolsters that department mid-season. Santner bowled at 11 economy in his last game with one for 44.
