Here is all you need to know about the new Mumbai Indians addition, Vishnu Vinod, his age, wife and batting position
The Mumbai Indians, who were given the opportunity to bowl first, got off to a solid start, headed by their captain Rohit Sharma and opening batsman Ishan Kishan.
The burden was on the home team, but Rashid Khan bowled both of them out in the same over.
Nehal Wadhera, who was in excellent shape, also went back to the pavilion, which is when Vishnu Vinod entered and had a significant impact.
Mumbai was saved from danger thanks to Vishnu and the flamboyant Suryakumar Yadav’s partnership for 65 runs.

He batted at number five and scored 30 runs off 20 deliveries as Mumbai scored 218 runs in 20 overs, while Suryakumar scored 103* runs off 49 deliveries.
The Mumbai Indians regularly create younger players out of nothing and toss them into the deep end, where they not only float but also take off.
The factory that produced Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Tilak Varma, and now Nehal Wadhera also produced wicket-keeper batsman Vishnu Vinod from Kerala.
Who is Vishnu Vinod?
Vishnu Vinod, an Indian cricket player who was born on 2 December 1993, plays for Kerala in the national competition. He is currently 29 years old.
He is a wicketkeeper, bowls infrequently at a medium pace, and bats right-handed.
His ability to get accustomed to any batting position is what makes him a player to watch out and he is an attacking opening batsman who can play as a finisher in the lower middle-order as well.
He is unmarried and single.
A look at Vishnu Vinod’s career and debut
Vinod has played for a few clubs in the IPL recently, but those who follow the IPL obsessively are aware that he has only been permitted to warm the bench. He was eventually selected for the starting XI after six years.
Vinod played in three matches for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) squad in 2017. After that, he took a three-year vacation from playing before returning in 2021 with the Delhi Capitals and 2022 with Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Although MI battled for him last year as well, it was this year that he received the Blue uniform.
After making his professional debut for Kerala in List-A and T20 cricket in 2014, the 29-year-old batsman made his first-class debut for Kerala in 2016.
He had to contend with Sanju Samson for a spot in the domestic team because he was a keeper, but he won that fight simply on the basis of his batting.
He has played in the middle of the order, turned into a floater for Kerala, and even batted at No. 5 for the Mumbai Indians despite regularly opening.
Since then, Vinod has played in 23 first-class games, 46 List-A games, and 50 T20 games. Vinod is built for white-ball cricket, as seen by his 138 T20 strike rate and 40 List-A average.
Although Vinod got a few excellent runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, his performance in the DY Patil T20 Cup definitely stood out.
In 5 games, Vinod scored 186 runs, with his highest effort coming off just 47 balls. As a result, he had the form sent to the IPL and was now waiting for his moment.
What is Vishnu Vinod’s IPL salary?
Vishnu Vinod’s IPL salary in 2023 is ₹ 20,00,000 and total IPL income is ₹ 10,000,000.
