00:00 Mumbai Indians have replaced Dilshan Madhushanka who was out of the IPL 2024 due to injury
00:06 with 17 year old fast bowler Quena Mafaka from South Africa.
00:12 During the third match of the One Day Series against Bangladesh, Madhushanka injured his hamstring
00:18 which resulted in him being out of the IPL.
00:21 Mumbai bought Madhushanka for 4.6 crore rupees in the IPL 2024 auction.
00:27 Madhushanka had a huge impact on India during the One Day World Cup with his bowling,
00:32 especially in power play.
00:34 After Mohammad Shami and Adam Zampa, he had the most wickets in the World Cup.
00:39 Mafaka is in his last year of school and he is going to play his first game of South Africa
00:45 at Kagiso Rabada.
00:46 He had to spend his summer holidays in Mumbai and then return home.
00:51 But now he will be with the Mumbai team in March, April and May and he can get a chance
00:55 to make his debut in the U19 World Cup.
00:57 Mafaka played a great performance in the U19 World Cup 2024.
01:02 He played an important role in bringing South Africa to the semi-finals.
01:06 Mafaka took 21 wickets in 6 matches with a 9.71% chance and 3.81% economy rate.
01:15 Let's say that no player has taken more wickets in one edition of the U19 World Cup.
01:20 Mafaka is known for his in-swing speed and his 140 km/h speed.
01:30 The Mumbai Indians have 6 other specialist speed bowlers in their team,
01:35 including Jasprit Bumrah, Gerald Kozzi and many more.
