He’s back where he belongs! 💙

Mayank Markande, the leggie who made waves in Blue and Gold, is all set to spin his magic once again for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026. 

A true homecoming story, Mayank returns with experience, confidence & that signature craftiness that once left batters bamboozled.

Remember that stellar debut back in 2018? Oh yes - 3/23 against CSK in the season opener at Wankhede, giving us a glimpse of the star in the making. A year later, he was a member of our 2019 title-winning squad and now, he’s back to script another golden chapter.

Talking about his skillset, Mayank’s got that blend of precision & unpredictability. He mixes up his variations, teases batters with flight and knows exactly how to build pressure in crunch moments. He’s that aggressive spin option every skipper dreams of, equally useful on turning tracks or flat decks.

With Markande back, our spin department just got a fresh boost. Oppositions, beware! 🌪️
