I want them to see us and think, ‘That could be me.'” Athletes and staff will begin wearing Nike team gear this month, and the women’s and men’s teams will reveal new Nike kits ahead of their respective 2027 seasons.
“Cricket is woven into the heartbeat of India, and few teams capture its energy like Mumbai Indians,” says Tarundeep Singh, General Manager, Nike India. Nike has been part of my journey too, so bringing these two families together feels personal,” says Tilak Varma , Nike athlete and member of the Mumbai Indians men’s team. “The club embodies the ambition and belief that make sport so powerful. That’s exactly what drew Nike to this partnership, which represents our effort to serve athletes, celebrate the game and help inspire the next generation. “Mumbai Indians backed me and gave me the opportunity to express myself on the big stage. “Wearing the MI colors with the Nike Swoosh will remind me of how far I’ve come – and how much more I want to achieve. Somewhere, there’s a kid in the nets dreaming of playing in blue and gold. Fans will soon be able to experience Nike’s apparel offerings through both team kits and additional styles inspired by the identity, energy and culture of Mumbai.
