New Delhi, Feb 3: Batting stalwart Sachin Tendulkar was re-instated as the skipper of Mumbai Indians on Saturday for IPL 6, after Harbhajan Singh quit the captaincy to concentrate and improve his bowling.
The 39-year-old led the Mumbai franchise for the first three seasons and later handed over the captaincy to Bhajji in 2011. It was in the same year that Harbhajan led his team to victory in the Champions League T20 and was retained as the skipper for the fifth edition as well. In order to strengthen their team management, Mumbai Indians earlier roped in Anil Kumble as the chief mentor and John Wright as head coach. Mumbai Indians' best performance in IPL was when they reached the final of IPL in 2010 under Tendulkar's captaincy. IPL 6 is scheduled to kick off on April 3, 2013.
