The Mumbai Indians team is captained by Ricky Ponting! The team has a
youthful balance of experienced cricketers as well as talented
youngsters from India and other nations. Mentored by former legendary
Indian leg spinner Anil Kumble, the team is coached by John Wright,
while Robin Singh and the prolific South African fielder Jonathan
(Jonty) Rhodes are an integral part of the coaching setup.
The team is closely followed by millions of fans across the globe. It
is the largest social sport brand in India with a fan base of close to 3
million on Facebook alone.
One of the main reasons for such a strong fan-base can be well ascribed
to the strong team values - both on and off the field. The franchise
promotes togetherness, team spirit and cohesiveness within diversity
much akin to the values that are seen and felt in the enigmatic city of
Mumbai.
