Mohammad Izhar
Cricket in India is no longer confined to traditional centres, and the IPL has played a massive role in uncovering talent from the most unexpected corners. Mohammad Izhar's story is a reflection of that shift. A left-arm pacer from Birpur in Bihar's Supaul district, he began his journey playing tennis-ball cricket on the streets, where he developed control and discipline alongside pace.
Under the guidance of his mentor, he transitioned to leather-ball cricket and quickly evolved. That maturity stood out in the 2025 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he picked up 9 wickets in 5 matches while maintaining an impressive economy rate. His performances caught the attention of the Mumbai Indians, who signed him for INR 30 lakh.
