Arjun, who replaced star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, played four matches last season, under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, claimed 3 wickets, and scored 13 runs.
Known for his curved run-up and a genuine outswinger, Arjun possesses the ability to swing the ball late and at a significant pace.
Mumbai Indians recognised his all-around capabilities and signed him at the base price of Rs 20 lakh in the 2021 auctions.
Ahead of the 15th season, Mumbai Indians retained Arjun for Rs. 30 lakhs.
Arjun’s journey from a young fan waving the MI flag in the stands to proudly donning the MI jersey is a testament to his enduring connection with the Blue and Gold.
