Over the years, the Mumbai Indians have always produced some of the young stars of cricket who have gone on to become the greatest cricketers at the international level.

However, after the end of their former talent scout's tenure and a disappointing 2026 season, former Sunrisers Hyderabad players have joined hands with the franchise in talent scouting.

The Mumbai Indians, the best team in IPL, are not only famous for the game but also for the set-up they have created in the team from an excellent talent scout team that brings in raw and young talent. After the end of the IPL 2026 season, the Mumbai Indians have appointed Naman Ojha as their talent scout with immediate effect, who will be keeping an eye on young players across the states and various leagues.

The former wicket-keeper batter, Nama Ojha, also attended the Jharkhand T20 Cricket League 2026, where he was seen representing the Mumbai Indians in scouting the players from this local league, and if a player is clicked by the scout, he can be given a chance in the IPL.
