IPL 2025: List Of All Replacements For Injured Players

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is set to bring thrilling cricket action, but injuries have already forced some franchises to make last-minute changes to their squads. With teams looking to put forward their best combinations, several key players have been ruled out due to injuries. To fill these gaps, franchises have signed replacements who can bring balance and depth to their teams. Here’s a detailed look at all the replacement players for IPL 2025.

Complete List of IPL 2025 Replacement Players

Here’s a summary of all injured players and their replacements:

Player	Team	Reason	Replacement Player
Brydon Carse	Sunrisers Hyderabad	Toe Injury	Wiaan Mulder
Allah Ghazanfar	Mumbai Indians	Back Injury	Mujeeb Ur Rahman
Lizaad Williams	Mumbai Indians	Knee Injury	Corbin Bosch
Harry Brook	Delhi Capitals	Personal Reasons	TBA
Umran Malik	Kolkata Knight Riders	Injury	Chetan Sakariya

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

Chetan Sakariya Replaces Umran Malik

The express Indian pacer Umran Malik was signed by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for ₹75 Lakhs during the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. He was expected to bolster KKR’s pace attack, but an injury has ruled him out of the season.

To compensate for his absence, KKR has brought back Chetan Sakariya, a left-arm medium pacer who was part of their squad last season. Sakariya, who went unsold in the auction, now has an opportunity to showcase his skills and strengthen KKR’s bowling department.

Mumbai Indians (MI)

Mujeeb Ur Rahman Replaces Allah Ghazanfar

Young Afghan spinner Allah Ghazanfar was picked by Mumbai Indians for ₹4.8 Crores. Unfortunately, the 18-year-old suffered a fracture in his L4 vertebra, forcing him out of the tournament.

To replace him, MI has signed another Afghan spinner, Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Mujeeb, who had registered at a base price of ₹2 Crores but went unsold in the auction, is now set to play a crucial role in MI’s spin attack.

Corbin Bosch Replaces Lizaad Williams

South African pacer Lizaad Williams was acquired by Mumbai Indians at his base price of ₹75 Lakhs with the expectation that he could deliver in the death overs. However, a knee injury has ruled him out of the season.

In response, MI has brought in Corbin Bosch, a South African all-rounder who can contribute with both bat and ball. Bosch’s versatility adds an extra dimension to MI’s squad for IPL 2025.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

Wiaan Mulder Replaces Brydon Carse

English pacer Brydon Carse, bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for ₹1 Crore, has been ruled out after aggravating a left toe injury during the Champions Trophy 2025.

To replace him, SRH has signed Wiaan Mulder, a South African all-rounder who was initially registered at a base price of ₹75 Lakhs. Mulder’s ability to bowl medium pace and contribute with the bat makes him a valuable addition to the squad.

Delhi Capitals (DC)

TBA: Replacement for Harry Brook

English batter Harry Brook has opted out of IPL 2025 due to personal reasons. Delhi Capitals is yet to announce his replacement, but an official update is expected soon.

New IPL 2025 Rules on Player Replacements

Ahead of IPL 2025, the BCCI introduced a new rule regarding player withdrawals. If a player who was auctioned withdraws before the season begins, he will be banned from participating in IPL for two seasons, including auctions. This move aims to prevent unnecessary last-minute withdrawals.
