Ayush Mhatre (CSK) 1 / 8 Chennai Super Kings (CSK) picked Ayush Mhatre as a replacement for the injured Ruturaj Gaikwad in the middle of the IPL 2025 season. The five-times champions CSK had a terrible IPL 2025 season as they finished at the bottom of the points table. However, the 17-year-old Mhatre impressed everyone including MS Dhoni with his impactful knocks. He smashed 240 runs in 7 matches at an average of 34.28 and a strike rate of 188.97 in the IPL 2025 season. After his impressive IPL debut season, Mhatre is all set to be retained by CSK before the IPL 2026 auction. Ayush Mhatre's Record In T20 Cricket 2 / 8 Ayush Mhatre, the teen batting sensation from Mumbai, has scored 240 runs in 7 matches at an average of 34.28 and a strike rate of 188.97 in his short T20 cricket career so far. 2. Corbin Bosch (Mumbai Indians) 3 / 8 Mumbai Indians signed Corbin Bosch as replacement of injured Lizaad Williams in the middle of the IPL 2025 season. Though Bosch featured in only three games in IPL 2025, he managed to create an impact with both bat and ball. The South African all-rounder provided valuable depth to the Mumbai Indians squad and helped them reach the playoffs. Given his utility, the 30-year-old Bosch is likely to be retained by Mumbai Indians before the IPL 2026 auction. Corbin Bosch's Record In T20 Cricket 4 / 8 Corbin Bosch, who is valuable with both bat and ball, has played 92 matches in T20 cricket so far. During that time, he has scored 741 runs and picked 62 wickets so far. 3. Dewald Brevis (CSK) 5 / 8 Chennai Super Kings (CSK) signed young South African batter Dewald Brevis as a replacement for the injured Gurjapneet Singh in the middle of the IPL 2025 season. Brevis produced many impactful and match-winning knocks while batting in the middle order for CSK amid the team's poor IPL campaign. The 22-year-old Brevis, who scored 225 runs in 6 matches of IPL 2025 at an average of 37.50 and a strike rate of 180.00, is set to be retained by CSK before the IPL 2026 auction. Dewald Brevis' Record In T20 Cricket 6 / 8 Dewald Brevis, who is known for his attacking cricket, has scored 2267 runs in 98 T20 matches with an average of 27.98 and strike rate of 151.94 so far. He has picked 18 wickets as well. 4. Shardul Thakur (LSG) 7 / 8 Lucknow Super Giants signed Shardul Thakur as replacement for injured Mohsin Khan, who was ruled out of the 18th season of the IPL due to injury. Thakur, a proven performer across all three formats for India, was signed from the Registered Available Player Pool (RAPP) at his reserve price of Rs 2 crore. Shardul has made an impact with the ball for LSG during the ongoing IPL 2025 season. Thakur picked 13 wickets in 10 matches during the IPL 2025 season. Given his utility and low price tag, Thakur is likely to be retained by LSG before the IPL 2026 auction. Shardul Thakur's Record In T20 Cricket 8 / 8 Shardul Thakur, who has a knack to take wickets and possesses an ability to score important runs, has scored 459 runs and picked 202 wickets in his T20 career so far.

Speaking of Ruturaj Gaikwad, the batter was ruled out of the IPL 2025 season midway due to a hairline fracture on his elbow. He was then named in the India A squad for the two unofficial Tests against England Lions; however, he did not make it to the playing XI. According to an official statement, Yorkshire's general manager of cricket, Gavin Hamilton, worked together with Anthony McGrath, the county's current head coach, to get Imam-ul-Haq on board on a last-minute deal following 'complications' with Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj, who made history with a 10-wicket haul in Ranji Trophy, has joined India's squad for the 4th Test against England. Here's why the 24-year-old is tipped for a dream debut in Manchester. read more Anshul Kamboj became only the third bowler to take a 10-fer in an innings in Ranji Trophy. PTI The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has given 24-year-old Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj a big chance. He was recently added to India's squad for the 4th Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England, starting July 23. For Kamboj, this is a huge moment as he is now very close to making his India debut. A bowler who made history in Ranji Trophy Kamboj first grabbed headlines in November 2024 during the Ranji Trophy. He picked up a 10-wicket haul in an innings while playing against Kerala. His figures were an unbelievable 10/49. He became only the third bowler in 91-year-old Ranji Trophy history to achieve this feat. Premangshu Chatterjee in 1956 and Pradeep Sundaram in 1985 are the other two bowlers on the exclusive list. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD As far as Kamboj's First-Class record is concerned, he has played 24 matches and taken 79 wickets at an average of 22.88 and an economy rate of 3.10. Also Read: 'That incident revved up the group': Gill-Crawley spat sparked team meeting and shift in England's attitude, reveals Carse Strong domestic and IPL record Apart from his exploits in red-ball cricket, Kamboj has good numbers in limited-overs cricket too. He has played 25 List A matches and taken 40 wickets, and has 30 T20 games under his belt, in which he has 34 wickets, with an average of just over 20 in both formats.

Kamboj also showed he can bat a little bit, scoring a crucial unbeaten 51 while batting at number nine. These performances caught the eye of selectors, who gave him a chance as soon as an injury replacement was required in the main team. Ashwin compares Kamboj with Bumrah and Khan India's senior spinner R Ashwin has spoken highly of Kamboj. On his YouTube channel, Ashwin said, 'The appreciable thing about Anshul is that he understands the plan. Many fast bowlers just say they want to express themselves, but Anshul knows the plan and executes it well. Very few bowlers have this quality. Zaheer Khan had it, Bumrah has it, and now Anshul shows that understanding too.' Ashwin played with Kamboj at CSK in IPL 2025. He also highlighted Kamboj's technical strengths. 'He has a very good tappa, a very upright seam position, and he doesn't miss his length. I saw that in the IPL. If you bring him into the playing XI with Bumrah and Siraj, this will be a serious bowling attack.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD He also reminded fans of Kamboj's Ranji Trophy heroics. 'People will say Anshul hasn't played in England, but he was there on the A tour. He is in cracking form in first-class cricket, averaging around 13, and he has already bowled long spells. You need that in England.' Kamboj says McGrath is an inspiration Speaking about his journey, Kamboj said in an earlier interview, 'I liked cricket from the very beginning. My father also liked it. So even in my local area when I had free time, I would go and play cricket. When I was 12 years old I started playing professional cricket. From that point on, I tried hard as a fast bowler. My dad played an important role, he supported me. My family has been very supportive. All coaches have helped. When you get this kind of support, you can push your limits.' 'When I started cricket, my travel was a lot. I used to travel from my village for an hour to reach the ground for training. Growing up, I was inspired by Glen McGrath's consistency. I also try to do the same thing. Keep things simple and try to hit the good areas and good line.' #TeamIndia's newest addition, #AnshulKamboj, opens up about his inspiring journey to the top! 👏🏻 Should the young seamer get his chance in the 4th Test vs England? 👀#ENGvIND | 4th Test starts WED, 23rd JULY, 2:30 PM | Streaming on JioHotstar! — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) July 21, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

Pakistan's Imam-ul-Haq replaces Ruturaj Gaikwad at Yorkshire for County Championship
Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq has been signed by County Championship side Yorkshire as a replacement for India's Ruturaj Gaikwad for the remainder of the season, the club announced on Monday. The development follows after Gaikwad backed out of the County deal that he had signed up for with the club last month. The Chennai Super Kings captain was due to appear for his debut on Tuesday, but has now opted out of the deal due to personal reasons. 'Unfortunately, Gaikwad's not coming now for personal reasons,' said Yorkshire head coach Anthony McGrath. 'We're not going to have him for Scarborough or for the rest of the season. So that's disappointing. I can't tell you anything about the reasons why, but we hope that everything's ok.' Imam has previously represented Somerset in the County Championship in 2022. He will join the Yorkshire squad ahead of its clash with Surrey at Scarborough. 'We're delighted that Imam has joined us and that he will be available immediately,' Gavin Hamilton, Yorkshire's general manager of cricket, said on Monday. 'Whilst we were naturally disappointed that Ruturaj couldn't join up with the squad, in Imam, we have an exceptional player of proven international quality. Earlier, Yorkshire went into panic mode after Gaikwad's last-minute decision. 'We've literally just found out. We're working behind the scenes on what we can do. But it's only two or three days away, so I'm not sure what we can do at the moment. We're working to try and get a possible replacement, but time pressure is the issue. I can't give you anything more than that at the moment,' McGrath had said on Saturday. The Maharashtra batter had been out of action since April 8 after suffering a fractured elbow while leading Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2025 season. Recovering from the injury, Gaikwad was named in the India A squad for the England tour. However, he was benched for both matches against the England Lions. Despite his impressive white-ball aggregates, Gaikwad has not had the best of runs in First-Class cricket, averaging 41.77 for 2632 runs in 38 matches. Gaikwad had a torrid run during the India A tour to Australia last year, scoring only 20 runs in four outings. In the 2024-25 domestic season in India, Gaikwad tallied 571 runs in 12 innings with a solitary century.
