Malinga's journey was special for Mumbai Indians
“Lasith Malinga has been an integral part of the Mumbai Indians family and is one of the most iconic figures in the history of the franchise. From spearheading MI's bowling attack and playing a pivotal role in four IPL title wins and the 2011 Champions League T20 win, to returning as a mentor and coach, Lasith's journey with MI has been truly special,” the franchise said in a statement. Malinga's passion, competitive spirit and commitment to the team was appreciated and his legacy will always remain an important part of the team.
Paras Mhambrey also took the responsibility for two seasons

He played his part in MI for two seasons of IPL and was even appointed the bowling coach of MI Emirates. At the same time, fielding coach Carl Hopkinson will also no longer be a part of the team's coaching staff. Amidst the continuous changes in the franchise, now all eyes will be on the new coaching combination and the performance of the team in the upcoming season.
