Chris Jordan has reportedly joined the Mumbai Indians (MI) as a replacement signing for IPL 2023. The England all-rounder remained unsold at the auction last December, but he has now returned to the league as a replacement.Jordan has played for SRH, PBKS and RCB as well before. He has featured in 28 IPL matches so far picking 27 wickets at an average of 30.85 and an economy of 9.32. Jordan is prominently a death overs bowler, an area where MI have struggled a lot this season. It remains to be seen if MI will include him in the playing XI for the game against RR on Sunday.

ESPNCricinfo reported that the Mumbai Indians have roped in Chris Jordan as a replacement player. However, it is unclear who he has replaced in the MI squad for IPL 2023. The majority of MI players were fit and available in their previous match.According to ESPNCricinfo, Jordan comes in as a replacement however, it’s yet to be known that whom has he replaced.Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out already while Jofra Archer has also played only two out of seven matches so far. The rest of the bowling attack is thin on experience and Jordan's arrival might just change things for the side. Jordan has already joined the squad as he was spotted with the players ahead of the RR clash at the Wankhede Stadium.
