"Thank you to the entire MI family and the fans for the support through this remarkable journey of mine since 2010. - Robin Singh"

New Delhi, May 15

Former India all-rounder Robin Singh has officially ended his long association with the Mumbai Indians franchise, bringing down the curtain on a journey that began in 2010.

Robin made the announcement through a social media post on Friday, confirming that he has parted ways not only with the IPL side but also with the ILT20 franchise MI Emirates.

He clarified that while he had not been part of the Mumbai Indians' IPL support staff since 2022, this year marked the conclusion of his role with their overseas setup as well.

"I'd like to share that I have officially parted ways with the Mumbai Indians. Although I have not been part of their IPL staff since 2022, as of this year also with their team in the Emirates league," Robin shared on X.

The former India cricketer also thanked the franchise and its supporters for their backing over the years. "Thank you to the entire MI family and the fans for the support through this remarkable journey of mine since 2010. Wishing the franchise good luck in the years ahead," he added.

Robin has been with the MI since 2010. He played a key role in the franchise's five IPL titles and two CLT20 campaigns. He had also served as the general manager of MI Emirates in the inaugural season of the ILT20 in 2023. In 2024, he was appointed as the head of MI Emirates.

A former India international, who played 136 ODIs, scoring 2336 runs at 25.75 and picking up 69 wickets at 43.26, transitioned into coaching after retirement and became an integral member of several T20 league setups around the world.

He had coached the Deccan Chargers (Sunrisers Hyderabad) in the inaugural edition of the IPL, when they finished last in the league.

His departure marks the end of a significant chapter in Mumbai Indians' coaching history, with fans and former players acknowledging his contribution to the franchise's success over the years.

It's interesting how Robin Singh's coaching career post-retirement has taken him around the world. From Deccan Chargers to MI Emirates, he's truly embraced the global T20 circuit. I wonder if this means he's planning to take up a senior role with another franchise or perhaps join a national team setup. The BCCI could use his experience in some capacity.

Honestly, I'm a bit sad to see him go. He was part of those golden MI years when they won five titles. His contribution to building that championship culture cannot be overstated. But change is inevitable in sports. Wishing him all the best for his next chapter. MI fans will always remember his service. 🙏

Wait, so he hasn't been with MI's IPL staff since 2022? That's news to me. I thought he was still involved with the main team. This makes me wonder how much of the recent dip in MI's performance (2023-2024) was related to his absence from the IPL setup. He was clearly the backbone of their overseas strategy. A significant loss for the franchise.

Robin Singh was never a flashy player, but as a coach he was solid gold. He understood the modern T20 game really well. I still remember his stint with Deccan Chargers in 2008 - that was a tough start, but he learned and grew. Respect for how he quietly went about his work with MI for so long. Hope he gets a head coach role somewhere deserving. 👍
