Mahela Jayawardene likely to continue as Mumbai Indians coach; status quo on trade chatter
NEW DELHI: Former Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene is likely to continue as Mumbai Indians (MI) head coach for the 2027 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), with the franchise reluctant to make sweeping changes. It is learnt that Jayawardene joined the five-time champions on a "two + one" contract in 2024 and could well be given another year, considering it will be the last year of the ongoing cycle.
