Mahela Jayawardene Mumbai Indians: Mumbai Indians have made an important change just before IPL 2025. The team has once again given a big responsibility to Mahela Jayawardene. Jayawardene has been made the head coach. He will replace Mark Boucher in the team. Jayawardene has had a good relationship with Mumbai so far. He has played the role of head coach of the team from 2017 to 2022. Jayawardene has once again returned with the same responsibility.
Mark Boucher was the head coach of Mumbai Indians in 2023 and 2024. But now Jayawardene will take his place. Jayawardene has a good record as a coach. Mumbai won three titles in Jayawardene’s presence. The team won the IPL title in 2017, 2019 and 2020. Mumbai has won the title five times so far. Mumbai handed over an important responsibility to Jayawardene in 2022. He was made Global Head of Cricket. During this period, she also helped Mumbai Indians in the Women’s Premier League. He also proved helpful for MLC and MIE.
Last season was bad for Mumbai Indians –
IPL 2024 was very bad for Mumbai. The team was at the bottom position in the points table. Mumbai played a total of 14 matches this season and won only 4 matches. MI had to face defeat in 10 matches. Mumbai had many big players. But still the team had to face defeat.
Controversy broke out over captaincy –
The last season was not good for Mumbai in many ways. It started with captaincy. The team removed Rohit Sharma from the post. Rohit has been a successful captain of Mumbai. But he was removed from the post without giving any information. Hardik Pandya was given command in place of Rohit. Hardik was also worried about his personal life at that time. He has separated with his wife. Hence its effect was visible on his performance also. Rohit-Pandya’s fans clashed on social media.
