Mumbai Indians have announced the departure of three members of their coaching staff ahead of the 2027 Indian Premier League season. Among those leaving is former Sri Lanka fast bowler Lasith Malinga, who served as a bowling coach for the franchise.

The five-time IPL champions confirmed the exits on Thursday but did not immediately name the other two coaches or provide reasons for the changes. The move signals a significant reshuffle in the team's backroom setup as they prepare for the upcoming tournament.

Malinga, a key figure in Mumbai's previous title wins as a player, joined the coaching setup in recent years. His departure, along with two other coaches, marks a notable shift in the franchise's strategy.
