Mumbai Indians officially signed Mahipal Lomror and Ruchit Ahir as replacement players for injured squad members.
The signings were completed ahead of the franchise’s remaining IPL 2026 fixtures.
IPL rules allow teams to register replacements when players are ruled out with injury.
Lomror is an experienced Indian batter who has played for multiple IPL franchises.
Ahir joins Mumbai’s squad to fill a roster gap created by unavailable players.
Replacement signings must be approved under league regulations and salary cap provisions.
Mumbai Indians were concluding a difficult league stage when the additions were announced.
Injuries during a long T20 season often force franchises to adjust squads late in the campaign.
New players must integrate quickly given the compressed IPL schedule.
