Mumbai, Oct. 31 -- After six trophy-less campaigns, in three of which they failed to make playoffs, Mumbai Indians are in a mood for a reset. The coaching staff has been completely overhauled. They have a new head coach in Kieron Pollard, a new batting coach in Robin Uthappa, a new bowling coach in Mitchell McClenaghan and a new development bowling coach in Dhawal Kulkarni. All of them barring new fielding coach T Dilip, who worked with India, are former MI players. There's another common theme in all these recruitments: they have the approval of former captain Rohit Sharma, who has been actively involved in discussions. MI is also set to go with a new captain after three troubled years under Hardik Pandya. Does Rohit's return to the engine room mean he would return as captain for IPL 2027? It's not as straightforward. Rohit will be turning 41 during the next IPL. Besides, he has a burning ambition of winning the one ICC white-ball silverware missing from his trophy cabinet - the ODI World Cup which follows four months after the IPL. Before committing, Rohit and MI would want to be sure he has the legs to sail through, be at his optimal best for leadup preparations. It may not be a forward-looking move, but no one is in denial that Rohit's name is under consideration as a stop-gap captain for a year before the next mega auction cycle. If not Rohit, Tilak Varma would be a strong contender. Jasprit Bumrah too could come under consideration. However, his longevity as a bowler is a primary consideration. There is no official word from MI on captaincy. It is learnt that no announcement is expected before the outcome of Hardik Pandya trade talks. The Hardik-trade is a big part of the team reset. Currently, MI are known to be involved in four active discussions for the trade. With Hardik's rare skill set of being a genuine pace bowling all-rounder, MI are known to be bargaining hard. 'In an eventuality, where the trade doesn't come to pass, the player will stay with MI. There is little chance of him being released in the auction," an IPL official privy to developments told HT. It is learnt MI are expected to also keep faith in Suryakumar Yadav....
