The official website of the Indian Premier League confirmed the same. The IPL updated the following piece of information on their official Twitter account. It read, “UPDATE: Jayant Yadav will play for @mipaltan in the VIVO IPL 2019 after being traded by @DelhiCapitals.”

Here’s what IPL Tweeted about Jayant Yadav’s trading to Mumbai Indians:

Delhi Capitals picked Jayant Yadav in the 2015 IPL season. The Haryana all-rounder has played 10 games in his IPL career so far. In those matches, he has scored 6 runs, and picked up 4 wickets. However, he hadn’t featured in any of the games for the Delhi Capitals.

While playing for India, Jayant has played in 4 Test matches, where he has scored 228 runs, which also includes a century and a half-century. In those matches, he had picked up 11 wickets too. With Jayant Yadav’s addition to the side, it would provide stability to their otherwise fragile middle order. Mumbai Indians Team in IPL 2019: Names of Players Bought by MI in Auctions and Their Prices.
