Career
Mulani came through Mumbai's domestic cricket structure, which has long been one of the strongest pathways in Indian cricket. He has featured for Mumbai across the principal BCCI domestic formats, contributing both with the ball as a left-arm spinner and with the bat as a useful lower-order batter, a profile that fits the traditional all-rounder mould valued in red-ball cricket.
Style of play
As a slow left-arm orthodox bowler, Mulani relies on flight, length and turn rather than pace, a style suited to longer formats on Indian pitches. His batting from the lower middle order has at times allowed Mumbai to extend innings and add depth to the side.
Significance
Mulani is part of the contemporary generation of Mumbai cricketers continuing the city's tradition in the Ranji Trophy, a competition Mumbai have historically dominated. Players from this domestic system are regularly considered within the wider Indian cricket talent pool.
