MI recently won the 2020 IPL title, making it three wins in the last four years. The Rohit Sharma-led franchise is the most successful team in IPL history, but head coach Mahela Jayawardene does not want to take credit for their record.
In an interview with former England captain Nasser Hussain, Mahela Jayawardene said:
Ricky Ponting was the head coach of the Mumbai Indians before Mahela Jayawardene took over in 2017. During Jayawardene’s four years in charge, he has led MI to three IPL titles.
“For me the biggest hurdle is to be involved full-time” - Mahela Jayawardene rules out coaching Sri Lanka
Despite his success as head coach in the IPL, Mahela Jayawardene has no plans to coach the Sri Lanka cricket team.
The 43-year-old, who will coach the Southern Brave at The Hundred tournament this year, does not want to take on a coaching gig that would force him to work 12 months a year. He continued:
Sri Lanka are set to take on England in a two-match Test series beginning later this week, and Jayawardene will certainly be a keen spectator during the contest.
