Mahela Jayawardene, who has been the head coach of the Mumbai Indians since 2017, has been replaced by Zaheer Khan, who formerly held the job of director of cricket operations until last season.

They both will participate in one of the three teams that the organisation has. Supervising the coaching staff at each of the three teams is one of Jayawardene’s duties.

The record for the most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in a Test match belongs to Mark Boucher, who has had a long and distinguished career as both a wicketkeeper and a batsman. After retiring, he took over as coach for South Africa’s best cricket team, Titans, and guided them to five domestic championships. 2019 saw the appointment of Mark Boucher as Cricket South Africa’s head coach, where he produced 11 Test triumphs, 12 ODI victories, and 23 T20I victories.
