Champions Trophy 2025-winning India captain Rohit Sharma and team member Hardik Pandya arrived in Mumbai on Tuesday from Dubai to join the Mumbai Indians training camp ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League season.
Multiple players in the squad for this season kicked off the preparatory camp on Tuesday at MI’s home venue, Wankhede Stadium.
Naman Dhir, Robin Minz, KL Srijith, Raj Angad Bawa, P.S.N. Raju, Ashwani Kumar and Vignesh Puthur were some of the domestic players seen in action. Overseas players Bevon Jacobs and Reece Topley also joined the squad earlier this week.
“Pre-season is always exciting but it’s the intensity that is paramount and that’s what we want to establish and take forward. Always going to be a tough season, but I want to ensure that we prepare well when we have the time,” head coach MAhela Jayawardene said in a statement.
Paras Mhambrey and Lasith Malinga (bowling coaches), J. Arun Kumar (assistant batting coach) and Carl Hopkinson (fielding coach) are also part of the coaching set up this year.
MI opens its 2025 campaign against Chennai Super Kings at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on March 23.
