IPL ka season apne peak par hai aur isi beech five time champions Mumbai Indians ke kheme se ek pareshan karne wali khabar samne aayi hai. Kiwi captain aur MI ke star spinner Mitchell Santner shoulder injury ki wajah se pure ek mahine ke liye bahar ho gaye hain. Ye news na sirf MI ke liye balki New Zealand Cricket ke liye bhi kisi bade jhatke se kam nahi hai kyunki aage bade Test matches line-up hain.
The Inner Story: Kaise hui ye injury aur kya hai Asli Maajra
Mitchell Santner ko ye chot 23 April ko Chennai Super Kings ke khilaaf hue high voltage match mein fielding ke dauran lagi thi. Halaanki unhone us match mein apne poore 4 overs fenke the, lekin wo batting karne nahi aaye aur unki jagah Shardul Thakur ne li thi. New Zealand wapas lautne ke baad jab Mitchell Santner ke scans hue, toh pata chala ki unhe Grade 3 ACL shoulder injury hai. Iska matlab saaf hai ki agle 30 dino tak wo cricket field se door rahenge aur rehabilitation process se guzrenge.
Mitchell Santner is saal Mumbai Indians ke squad mein thoda late jude the kyunki unhone T20 World Cup ke baad personal reasons ki wajah se chutti li thi. Is injury ki wajah se wo ab Ireland ke khilaaf hone wale one-off Test aur England ke khilaaf Lord's mein hone wale pehle Test match se bhi bahar ho chuke hain. New Zealand Cricket ab jald hi in series ke liye naya squad announce karne wala hai.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Mitchell Santner ka bahar hona Mumbai Indians ke bowling attack ke balance ko poori tarah bigad sakta hai. Santner sirf ek bowler nahi balki ek chatur cricketer hain jo middle overs mein pressure create karna jaante hain. Jab baat England ki aati hai, toh Lord's jaise maidan par Kiwi team unhe miss karegi. Halaanki New Zealand ke liye rahat ki baat ye hai ki wo July mein hone wale West Indies tour tak fit ho sakte hain. MI ke liye ab waqt hai ki wo apne bench strength ko aazmayein kyunki tournament ke business end mein aise setbacks kafi mehnge padte hain.
