Mumbai Indians have brought in Punjab domestic bowler Krish Bhagat as a replacement for injured all-rounder Atharva Ankolekar ahead of IPL 2026. The 21-year-old, signed for Rs 30 lakh, has played seven first-class and nine List-A matches for Punjab. Despite consistent performances, he is yet to debut in T20s, and this will be his first IPL opportunity with MI.
