Hailing from Birpur in the Supaul district of Bihar, Mohammad Izhar is a talented left-arm medium-fast bowler. He has an attacking edge, is known for his ability to swing the ball both ways and keep batters guessing with subtle pace variations. Izhar grabbed attention during the 2025–26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he was Bihar's standout performer, claiming 9 wickets in 5 matches, including a career-best spell of 4/39 against Madhya Pradesh. His breakthrough year included serving as a net bowler for Chennai Super Kings during IPL 2025, where he received invaluable guidance from MS Dhoni. Recognizing his immense potential, Mumbai Indians acquired him for INR 30 Lakh at the TATA IPL auction 2026. Joining the five-time champions is a monumental opportunity for the 22-year-old to nurture his skills alongside legends like Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and develop into a premiere fast-bowler.
