IPL 2026: Mumbai Indians Released Puthur Due To Injury, Franchise To Support His Rehab
Kerala Cricket League: Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians (MI) had produced a big shocker by releasing promising left-arm wrist-spinner Vignesh Puthur on IPL 2026 retentions day.
The development had come as a shocker more so due to MI unearthing the Mallapuram-based Puthur from their vast scouting network and had impressed many in the franchise’s trials. Their faith in Puthur was vindicated when he dismissed Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube and Deepak Hooda on debut in Chennai.
But sources aware of the development told IANS that Puthur being released by MI is more due to his ongoing injury recovery. “Vignesh is recovering from an injury sustained in Kerala Cricket League and MI will be continuing to support him in his rehab despite releasing him ahead of IPL 2026 auction, to be held on December 16 in Abu Dhabi,” further said sources.
