Mumbai Indians appoint Robin Uthappa as their batting coach ahead of the IPL 2027 season, while also reshaping other members of the coaching staff. Multiple outlets report the change as part of a broader support-team update.
ESPN Cricinfo and The Hindu both say MI brings in Mitchell McClenaghan as bowling coach, T.K. Dilip as fielding coach, and Dhawal Kulkarni as development bowling coach, alongside Uthappa’s arrival. NDTV focuses on Uthappa’s appointment and describes him as a former India player and IPL-winning figure.
Free Press Journal adds additional context about the wider “shake-up,” stating MI parted ways with bowling coaches Lasith Malinga and Paras Mhambrey and fielding coach Carl Hopkinson. It also reports that Kieron Pollard is promoted to head coach after replacing Mahela Jayawardene, framing Uthappa’s return as part of the larger staffing overhaul.
