However, the performance of Mumbai Indians under the coaching of Mark Boucher was very poor. Mark Boucher was appointed as the head coach of the Mumbai Indians team for the 2022 season. Mumbai Indians performed disappointingly in IPL 2024 and won only four out of 10 matches. Mumbai team was at the bottom position in the points table of IPL 2024. In 2022, Jayawardene was appointed the Global Head of Cricket of the Mumbai Indians team. There are many such franchise cricket leagues in which Mumbai Indians franchise has performed tremendously. Mumbai Indians said in its statement, ‘Feeling very happy that Jayawardene has returned as the head coach of Mumbai Indians. He himself has been one of the best players of his time and knows a lot about cricket. His leadership, knowledge and passion for the game will be of great help to Mumbai Indians.

Paras Mhambrey (Photo Source: Twitter) Team India performed brilliantly and won the trophy of the T20 World Cup played this year. All the players performed brilliantly in this tournament and played an important role in the victory of their team. The head coach of Team India in this tournament was Rahul Dravid while the bowling coach was Paras Mhambrey. Under the coaching of Paras Mhambrey, all the bowlers of Team India completely destroyed the batting lineup of the opposing team by bowling lethally in the tournament. Now a big report is coming out before the start of IPL 2025. Mumbai Indians, one of the most successful franchises of IPL, has appointed Paras Mhambrey as their bowling coach. Let us tell you that Paras Mhambrey has played only five matches at the international level for Team India. However, his performance in domestic cricket has been excellent. Many people also believe that Paras Mhambrey is a more influential coach than a successful player. Paras Mhambrey has a lot of coaching experience. Mumbai Indians had a disappointing performance under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya in the Indian Premier League 2024. Mumbai Indians have so far won the Indian Premier League trophy five times. His performance has always been excellent in this tournament. However, Mumbai Indians team failed to show tremendous performance in IPL 2024. Before the start of IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians included Hardik Pandya in their team. Not only this, the franchise also appointed him the captain of the team. However, his decision did not prove correct and Mumbai Indians won only four out of 14 matches in the last edition. Many people were surprised to see that after winning the trophy of this important tournament five times under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, why did Mumbai Indians appoint Hardik Pandya as the captain of their team? However, now with the addition of Paras Mhambrey, the bowling lineup of Mumbai team will get to know about very important things.

This mystery spinner of New Zealand is training in Mumbai, will give trouble to India in the IND vs NZ test series.

(Photo Source: Twitter/BLACKCAPS) New Zealand’s left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel is leaving no stone unturned to make his mark in the three-Test series against India starting from October 16 in Bengaluru. Ajaz Patel was born in Mumbai and his parents moved to New Zealand many years ago. But, Ejaz’s relatives still live here. Before the start of the Test series, Ajaz Patel trained at MIG Cricket Club on Tuesday. On Thursday, 35-year-old Ijaz will fly to Bengaluru, where he will meet the rest of the players of the Kiwi team. Ejaz Patel’s career This spinner has taken 70 wickets in 18 Test matches at an average of 30.42. He has a special connection with Mumbai, when he took 10 wickets for 119 runs in India’s first innings at the Wankhede Stadium in December 2021, becoming only the third bowler in Test history after Jim Laker and Anil Kumble to record a ‘Perfect 10’ . In September, Ijaz had requested Mumbai’s Dutta Mithbavkar to arrange for a training facility in Mumbai ahead of New Zealand’s tour of India. Dutta was the local manager of the Afghanistan team during the one-off Test between New Zealand and Afghanistan in Greater Noida which was completely washed out due to rain. “At that time Ejaz had requested me whether he could get the facility to train in Mumbai? Because he will reach the city a little earlier to meet his relatives (his wife is also from Jogeshwari, Mumbai). He wanted an outdoor facility, and to practice on a spin-friendly wicket. After that, he got in touch with me.” “It was Nilesh Bhosle (Mumbai Cricket Association Apex Council member) who organized a practice session for Ijaz at the MIG Club. He trained for about 90 minutes and bowled 10-12 overs. He bowled to former India Under-19 all-rounder Vaibhav Ankolekar, and was impressed by his batting. He also gave him tips on how to bowl left arm spin. I had also asked some young local players, including some left-arm spinners from my academy, to attend and shared bowling tips with them.”

“Release Hardik Pandya” – Jadeja gave important advice to Mumbai Indians
53-year-old Jadeja believes that fast bowler Bumrah is more important than Hardik. In such a situation, use of RTM for Hardik can prove beneficial for MI. Jadeja said, “If you have RTM then you can take advantage of it. I am not saying that it decides the ability or strength of the player. However, if you look at a player like Bumrah and his value and then Hardik in the market, it will be a difficult task.”
“Mumbai lobby is a reality” – Fans trolled Sanjay Manjrekar fiercely for his controversial comment.
Sanjay Manjrekar said that he does not pay much attention to the players of the North. Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: Indian team and former Mumbai cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has once again come under attack from fans for his comments during live telecast. The famous commentator said something in the India vs New Zealand match of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, which has now created an uproar on social media. Manjrekar said that he does not pay much attention to the players of the North. Many people felt bad about his words. After this, Sanjay Manjrekar had to face the ‘Mumbai lobby’ jibe on social media. Manjrekar made this controversial comment in the 11th over of the Indian innings. Actually, Manjrekar’s commentary partner was discussing Indian team’s fielding coach Munish Bali. He told Manjrekar that the fielding coach is a former cricketer from Punjab. After this, Manjrekar said, “Sorry, I did not recognize him.” I don’t pay much attention to the players from the North.” Fans trolled Sanjay Manjrekar Fans probably did not like his comment because Indian women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur is also from Punjab. After hearing his comment, fans have started giving their reactions on social media. One fan wrote, “Mumbai lobby is a reality.” Another said, “Experts say that Mumbai lobby does not exist. This is a product of people’s imagination. But now see for yourself.” Let us tell you that Munish Bali, resident of Patiala, is one of the most experienced coaches of the Indian cricket circuit. He started off as the head coach of Punjab’s age-group level teams. He has considerable experience in international setup. He has been the assistant coach of the team that won the Under-19 World Cup in 2008, which had great fielders like Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Manish Pandey. Team India did not have a good start in the T20 World Cup 2024. In this match, New Zealand has defeated India by 58 runs. Batting first, New Zealand set a target of 161 runs for India. So when India set out to chase this target, it was all out for just 102 runs in 19 overs. In the match, no Indian batsman could play an innings bigger than 15 runs.
