Mumbai Indians and RCB Add Strength to Their Team with Injury Cover-Ups for WPL 2025

While the frenzy for the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 became much too hot to handle, Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) went ahead with the most important last-minute team roster adjustments keeping in mind the injury of the regular players. To keep their advantage, MI have signed left-arm spinner Parunika Sisodia, and RCB signed wicketkeeper-batter Nuzhat Parween as respective injury cover replacements. These two signings will strengthen both teams as better performers for the next tournament, which will start this Friday in Vadodara.

Mumbai Indians Sign Parunika Sisodia as Pooja Vastrakar Replacement

Mumbai Indians were surprised when their ace all-rounder Pooja Vastrakar got injured and would be out of WPL 2025. MI chose teenager left-arm spinner Parunika Sisodia as her replacement, who is making waves in the domestic league. Sisodia, who started her career in Gujarat Giants in the first season of WPL, now will represent MI in the ongoing season tournament in blue and golden hue. She enters the team for a base price of Rs 10 lakh, and her spin talent and energy are brought to the team. Parunika Sisodia gained popularity after strong performances in the ICC Women's U19 T20 World Cup, in which she was a key performer for India.

Her capacity to break important partnerships and miserly spells with the ball put her in the plus bracket. She performed magnificently in the England semi-final too, where she played a match-winning game and bagged for herself the highly sought-after Player of the Match award. Her inclusion in the MI team can help the team have an extra punch in the spin department and turn her into a resource for the team's title campaign. RCB Hopes Nuzhat Parween As Injury Replacement for Asha Sobhana On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru lost one player to injury in wrist spinner Asha Sobhana. RCB has thus appointed wicketkeeper batter Nuzhat Parween as its injury replacement. The experienced Railway player has played for India in five T20 internationals and has proved her aggressive back foot along with good batting.

Parween, who is a veteran campaigner of the home circuit, adds experience and dependability to the RCB team.

Her price tag signing of Rs 30 lakh can turn out to be a shrewd decision, offering balance to the team at wicketkeeping as well as batting depth. With the option to stabilize an innings and score when needed, she will be among the pillar players of RCB when the team will look to start its campaign on a positive note in WPL 2025. WPL 2025 to Start with Dramatic Opener

The third Women's Premier League is to begin with an exciting opening match between Gujarat Giants and the two-time champion RCB in Vadodara. As the tournament goes on, the new additions, Sisodia and Parween, will be prepared to make their presence felt and demonstrate their skills.

While Mumbai Indians and RCB have done such strategic signings to replace injuries, their team composition and performance on the field will decide their fate in the tournament. The fans wait with bated breath to see how these young and veteran players perform for their teams.

Conclusion

Injuries are the nature of the game in sports, but teams must adjust in a hurry so that they can still retain their competitive advantage.

Mumbai Indians and RCB also followed suit by signing Parunika Sisodia and Nuzhat Parween as standbys for Pooja Vastrakar and Asha Sobhana, respectively. All attention would be on the new recruits in WPL 2025 to witness how they do well and what they contribute to the women's game big stage. With the tournament at the edge, the fans have been witnessing a record level of interest with an exciting season to be experienced.
