Mumbai Indians also appointed Arunkumar Jagadeesh, one of the well-known domestic players of Karnataka, as an assistant batting coach.
In order to atone for its poor effort in the IPL 2022 season, Mumbai Indians (MI) will try their best to be on the top again in IPL 2023 and that is why the franchise has acquired Cameron Green, the second most expensive player of the IPL 2023, for a total of Rs. 17.5 crores. Kieron Pollard will not be seen in the IPL 2023 because of his retirement from the IPL.
Mumbai Indians included Jofra Archer, Tim David, Tristan Stubbs, Jason Behrendroff, Cameron Green, Jhye Richardson, and Duan Jansen as the overseas players. The team is fully packed with talented bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Jofra Archer, Jason Behrendorff, and Jhye Richardson. MI is once more evaluating his prolonged batting difficulties in the IPL while supporting their tried-and-true skipper at the forefront, who has five trophies to his credit.
MI's bowling attack appears to be significantly more powerful now that Archer is available to pair up with Bumrah. Richardson's selection elevates him slightly above Tymal Mills from the previous campaign and will also give Green excellent backup as the all-around utility player.
All totaled, Mumbai has bought players like Jhye Richardson, seasoned spin bowler Piyush Chawla, Duan Jansen, Shams Mulani, Nehal Vadhera, and Vishnu Vinod in 2023 at their default rates.

The team started the 2008 season with master blaster Sachin Tendulkar as the skipper but he had to step down due to injury and Harbhajan Singh was appointed as the captain.
