New Delhi: Aakash Chopra believes Allah Ghazanfar was a fantastic acquisition for Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL 2025 auction. He criticized Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for letting the Afghanistan spinner go cheaply.

Mumbai Indians secured Ghazanfar for ₹4.80 crore in a bidding battle with Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders. They also made significant picks with Trent Boult (₹12.50 crore) and Deepak Chahar (₹9.25 crore).

In a video on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra,’ the former India opener expressed that RCB made a mistake by allowing Ghazanfar and Will Jacks to join MI.

“Who is Allah Ghazanfar?

He is an Afghanistan bowler. There was a match in Sharjah where Bangladesh were 132/3 and were all out for 143. He took six wickets while conceding 26 runs. They were playing for the incoming ball when the ball was going away and vice versa. He is a quality player,” he said (7:25).
“I see a slightly upgraded version of Mujeeb Ur Rahman in him. The action is similar, but he is slightly more accurate. He is slightly quicker in the air, and it seems like people are finding it difficult to read him at the moment. He is a steal. I felt RCB wouldn’t let him go. RCB’s loss is Mumbai’s gain, as was the case with Will Jacks,” Chopra added.

In addition to Ghazanfar, Mumbai Indians also purchased Mitchell Santner for ₹2 crore as an overseas spinner. Meanwhile, RCB’s squad features only one recognized specialist spinner, Suyash Sharma.
