Chris Jordan has joined the Mumbai Indians 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. ESPNCricinfo reported that the Mumbai Indians have roped in Chris Jordan as a replacement player. It is still unclear who he has replaced in the MI squad for IPL 2023. The majority of MI players were fit and available in their previous matches.

The only injury concern in the MI squad was Jofra Archer. The England pacer even went to Belgium for surgery recently. MI coach Mark Boucher said,

"Yes, he was. I believe it was a minor surgery. We all know what Jofra can do. He's been a fantastic bowler for many years now. So, he adds a different dimension to our attack."

IPL 2023: Chris Jordan in place of Jofra Archer in Mumbai Indians' squad?

It is unclear who Chris Jordan has replaced in the Mumbai Indians' squad for IPL 2023. Apart from Jofra Archer, the other overseas players in the MI team are Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, Tim David, Cameron Green, Duan Jansen, Riley Meredith, and Jason Behrendorff. There has been no update on any injuries to other foreign players.

The England all-rounder played his last IPL match for the Chennai Super Kings on April 17, 2022, against the Gujarat Titans. He could not execute his plans well in that game and leaked 58 runs in 3.5 overs.

Jordan recently played for England in a three-match T20I series against Bangladesh, where he picked up one wicket in three games. It will be interesting to see how he performs in the IPL.

As the IPL 2025 season nears its climax on May 19, 2025, the playoff picture is almost complete. Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), and Punjab Kings have secured their spots in the top four, leaving one final slot up for grabs.

The race for the fourth position is heating up, with Mumbai Indians (MI), Delhi Capitals (DC), and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) battling it out for that one position.

• LSG vs. SRH (May 19, 2025), GT, and RCB

Qualification Scenarios

Who Will Make It?

Mumbai Indians are currently favoured to clinch the final playoff spot, thanks to their higher points tally and strong net run rate.

The upcoming MI vs. DC clash on May 21 is being dubbed a virtual knockout, as the winner will gain a significant advantage. However, LSG’s three remaining games give them a slim chance to stage a dramatic comeback, provided they can upset strong teams like GT and RCB.

In a highly competitive tournament like IPL, every match counts. The pressure intensifies during playoffs and Eliminator is one such example of an high-pressure knockout match. 

From close defeats to disappointing ones, want to know which teams could not manage to survive this round the most times?

Here's the teams with most IPL Eliminator defeats.
