Paras Mhambrey appointed Mumbai Indians bowling coach ahead of IPL 2025

In a strategic move ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, the five-time champions Mumbai Indians have announced the appointment of former Indian seamer Paras Mhambrey as their bowling coach. Mhambrey will join forces with the already-established Lasith Malinga, forming a formidable duo under the guidance of head coach Mahela Jayawardene.

Mhambrey’s return to Mumbai Indians brings with it a wealth of experience and a proven track record. He has previously served as the bowling coach of the Indian men’s cricket team, overseeing the development of their pace bowling department into a formidable force. His expertise and insights will undoubtedly be invaluable to MI’s young and talented bowling attack.

MI issued a statement on Tuesday saying that Paras will be working alongside current bowling coach and Sri Lankan icon Lasith Malinga. “Mumbai Indians, today, announced the return and appointment of Paras Mhambrey as Bowling Coach, who will work along with current Bowling Coach Lasith Malinga, as part of the coaching team under Head Coach, Mahela Jayawardene,” said the statement from MI.

The partnership between Mhambrey and Malinga is particularly exciting. Both have a deep understanding of the game and a passion for nurturing young talent. Their combined experience and knowledge will create a dynamic and supportive environment for MI’s bowlers.

Mhambrey’s appointment comes at a crucial time for Mumbai Indians. The team finished at the bottom of the points table in the previous IPL season, and they will be eager to bounce back and reclaim their title. Mhambrey’s presence will provide a much-needed boost to their coaching staff and help them devise effective strategies to improve their performance.

As MI prepare for the upcoming IPL season, the appointment of Paras Mhambrey as their bowling coach is a significant step in the right direction. With a strong coaching staff and a talented squad, the team will be looking to make a statement and challenge for the championship.
