We need to win the trust of the fans again, says new MI batting coach Uthappa

Robin Uthappa has returned to the Mumbai Indians as their batting coach, marking a full circle since his time as a player for the team during the inaugural 2008 season. Following a disappointing ninth-place finish in the 2026 campaign, Uthappa emphasized the need to restore fan confidence and improve the team's performance in away matches under the leadership of head coach Kieron Pollard.

He plans to focus on mentoring domestic players by providing them with greater clarity and support. Uthappa aims to replicate the intimidating presence the squad maintains at their home ground when they travel to other locations.
