Defending champions Mumbai Inddigihunt recently unveiled the WPL 2026 jersey, continuing their tradition of drawing inspiration from the vibrant city of Mumbai and its people.
Jersey Inspiration
The jersey reflects the rhythmic essence of everyday Mumbai — always in motion, always playing on. This season features the iconic blue and gold, complemented by coral, symbolizing movement, resilience, and momentum.
“The core theme is the ‘Wicket Pulse,’ with blue adorning the front and back of the jersey, inspired by Mumbai’s constant motion – from local trains to sea waves. It encapsulates the never-slowing mindset that defines both Mumbai and the Mumbai Inddigihunt,” MI stated.
“The gold adds confidence and continuity, elements that power the spirit of Mumbai, while the subtle coral accents bring warmth and balance that the people of Mumbai share, making the #OneFamily unique,” it added.
Pre-Season Training
Mumbai Inddigihunt have commenced their pre-season training under head coach Lisa Keightley, alongside bowling coach and team mentor Jhulan Goswami, batting coach Devieka Palshikaar, and other support staff. The players already at the camp include Saika Ishaque, Sajana S, Sanskriti Gupta, Poonam Khemnar, Triveni Vasistha, N Kranthi Reddy, Rahila Firdous, Shabnim Ismail, and the Australian duo of Milly Illingworth and Nicola Carey.
As the squad comes together steadily, more star players such as skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Amanjot Kaur are set to join in the coming days.
Upcoming Matches
The defending champions will kick off their campaign on the opening day of the tournament on January 9 against the WPL 2024 champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
Notably, after three seasons of the WPL, the Mumbai Inddigihunt remain the most successful team, having won the first and third editions of the tournament. With Harmanpreet Kaur at the helm, they aim to defend their title successfully.
