Mumbai Indians (MI) have made some changes to their coaching staff for IPL 2023 after finishing at the bottom of the points table in IPL 2022. The five-time champions finished last in the standings for the first time in the tournament's history last season.
Playing under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians only won four of their 14 league-stage matches. Three of their four wins came in their last five matches, which highlights their disappointing performances during the first phase of the tournament.
MI will aim to make a comeback in IPL 2023, and as mentioned earlier, they have roped in some new coaches for this season. Interestingly, five members of MI's support staff once represented Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) during their IPL careers. Here's a list of those five names.
