IPL team Former India pacer Paras Mhambrey, who was born in Mumbai, has joined the Mumbai Indians. In 2008, the 52-year-old was a member of the Michigan coaching staff.
Lasith Malinga, the legendary Sri Lankan who played nine seasons with the Mumbai franchise, is the current bowling coach for the five-time champions. Head coach Mark Boucher is in charge of the entire coaching staff. Mhambrey will likely collaborate with Malinga to hone the bowling unit, especially the pacers, according to a report from The Times of India.
Interestingly, Mhambrey was the Indian team’s bowling coach from 2021 to 2024. He collaborated with two of MI’s key players, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, during that time. He has also collaborated with Rahul Dravid during his time with the India U-19 team, and it is anticipated that he would offer his full range of skills to the position.
After winning the T20 World Cup in 2024, Dravid’s contract, which was originally set to expire after the 50-over World Cup last year, came to an end. Mhambrey’s tenure came to an end along with him, and Morne Morkel took over. In 2021, Mhambrey took Bharat Arun’s seat.
