T Dilip to join Mumbai Indians ahead of IPL 2027: Report

The Mumbai Indians franchise is undergoing a significant transition in their coaching staff, having recently parted ways with Paras Mhambrey, Lasith Malinga, and fielding coach Carl Hopkinson. Reports indicate that T Dilip, who recently concluded a successful five-year tenure with the Indian national team, is the primary candidate to fill the vacant fielding coach position for the 2027 IPL season.

During his time with India, Dilip was credited with helping the squad secure victories in the 2024 and 2026 T20 World Cups, as well as a Champions Trophy title. His potential appointment is bolstered by his strong professional relationship with Rohit Sharma, who remains an influential figure within the Mumbai organization.
