Raghu Sharma: The Rewarded Journeyman Raghu Sharma’s entry into the IPL is not the typical story of a teenage prodigy. A seasoned veteran of the Punjab and Puducherry domestic circuits, Raghu spent years refining his leg-break and googly away from the limelight. His breakthrough came while serving as a support bowler in the Mumbai Indians’ net sessions, where his consistency caught the eye of the coaching staff.
In 2025, his years of hard work culminated in an official call-up to replace Vignesh Puthur for ₹30 Lakh. With a First-Class average of under 20 and a reputation for breaking long partnerships, the Jalandhar-born spinner provides MI with a traditional spin option capable of exploiting the abrasive tracks at the Wankhede.
