Rohit Sharma likely to take over as Mumbai Indians captain for IPL 2027

Mumbai Indians unveiled their coaching lineup for the 2027 IPL season, rehiring Robin Uthappa, Mitchell McClenaghan, Dhawal Kulkarni, and T Dilip. Uthappa, the former Mumbai player, takes on the role of batting coach, becoming the first major coaching position he has held in the tournament. McClenaghan, who played for MI from 2015 to 2020, now assumes the bowling coach position, joining former New Zealand pacer Lasith Malinga in the team's coaching staff.

Kulkarni, also a former MI player who won titles in 2013 and 2020, becomes the development bowling coach. Fielding coach T Dilip will continue MI's legacy of learning from Malinga, who previously coached the team. The coaching group aims to enhance player development, foster a high-performance environment, and prepare the team for the upcoming IPL season.
