Mumbai Indians appoint Zubin Bharucha as director of performance

Mumbai Indians have brought in Zubin Bharucha as director of performance ahead of the 2027 season. He previously worked in the same role at Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils.

The franchise missed the IPL 2026 playoffs and is looking to his experience to shore up the backroom setup. Bharucha has been with Rajasthan Royals since the league started, apart from two years at Delhi.

The move comes after a disappointing campaign and points to a broader overhaul of support staff.
