Mumbai Indians Make Big Backroom Change Ahead of IPL 2027
Mumbai Indians have made a change in their dressing room during the IPL Trade window. The team announced a new Director of Performance, as Zubin Bharucha has joined the staff. He has already worked with IPL teams such as Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals).
Mumbai Indians are involved in the headlines related to the IPL trade window. And at the same time, the team has decided to make a massive change in its staff, as they have announced a new Director of Performance. In a latest announcement, the team has named Zubin Bharucha as the new Director of Performance.
This is a massive change for Mumbai Indians, whose performances have not been good in the IPL lately. They have named Bharucha at this post for a reason, as he already holds experience in the IPL. Moreover, he has previously represented Mumbai in first class cricket, playing 17 games and scoring more than 1000 runs.
Along with that, his portfolio has been strong in the IPL too, as he has worked with teams such as Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils (now known as Delhi Capitals). Mumbai Indians will now be looking forward to gaining a lot from his experience.
Our Take
It is a massive move by Mumbai Indians to bring in Zubin Bharucha as the new Director of Performance. He will aim to give his best for the team in the upcoming season, which could help him to ensure that Mumbai Indians lift their sixth title as soon as possible. Since 2020, Mumbai's performances in the IPL have fallen down to a great extent, which fell down even more when Hardik Pandya took over as a skipper in 2024. Currently, it seems that the trade moves around Hardik will be taken after having a discussion with Zubin Bharucha.
