IPL 2022: Mumbai Indians signs Kumar Kartikeya Singh, replaces Md. Arshad Khan

Five-time champions Mumbai Indians are on an eight-match losing streak as they are yet to produce a win in the IPL 2022. The Rohit Sharma-led franchise is leaving no stone unturned to get their campaign back on track. In a bid to get their maiden points of the season, MI have signed Kumar Kartikeya Singh as a replacement for Md. Arshad Khan, who sustained an injury and has been ruled out for the rest of the IPL. 
 
Kumar Kartikeya is a left-arm spinner and has represented Madhya Pradesh across all three formats of the game since making his debut in 2018. Kartikeya will join Mumbai for ₹20 lakh.

Kumar Kartikeya has been impressive in the nets and his learning trajectory on improving and fine-tuning his bowling skills has earned him the call up to the main squad.
