The Mumbai Indians have signed big-hitting 21-year-old Warriors batsman Tristan Stubbs.

He replaces Tymal Mills, who has been ruled out of the remainder of the IPL through injury.

Stubbs had an outstanding CSA T20 Challenge campaign for the Warriors last season, making 293 runs in seven innings at an average of 48.83 and a strike rate of 183.12 with 23 sixes.

Stubbs recently played for South Africa A against a Zimbabwe XI.
