“Mumbai Indians have added fast bowling all-rounder Roosh Kalaria as an injury replacement for Mohsin Khan for the UAE leg of IPL 2021. The 228-year-old Kalaria had travelled to Abu Dhabi with the Mumbai Indians squad as a support player and now has earned his first IPL contract,” said MI in a statement.

“Kalaria was part of the India U-19 team in the 2012 ICC U-19 cricket World Cup. Kalaria has been a key player for Gujarat in the domestic cricket over the years since his debut in 2012. Kalaria was inducted in the squad today during the team’s training session,” it added.

MI is set to take on former champion Chennai Super Kings in Match 30 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. MI is placed fourth and needs three to four wins to seal its playoffs berth, while CSK is at the second spot and is just two to three wins away from the playoffs, having failed to do so last season in the gulf.
