Mumbai Indians have appointed T Dilip as their new fielding coach ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League season. Dilip, who previously worked with the Indian national team, said his goal is to "build fielding as an attacking weapon" for the five-time champions.
The appointment was announced on Friday, October 30, 2026. Dilip brings extensive experience in fielding coaching, having been part of India's support staff during their successful campaigns. Mumbai Indians, the most successful franchise in IPL history, are looking to strengthen their fielding unit after a disappointing previous season.
"I want to build fielding as an attacking weapon," Dilip told reporters. "Fielding can change matches, and we will work on creating pressure through athleticism and sharp reflexes."
