Mumbai Indians is a professional T20 franchise cricket team based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, that competes in the Indian Premier League. Mumbai Indians was founded in 2008 and is owned by India's biggest conglomerate, Reliance Industries, through its whole owned subsidiary Indiawin Sports. Since its establishment, the team has primarily played its home matches at the 33,108-capacity Wankhede Stadium. It is one of the most successful teams in IPL.

In 2017, the Mumbai Indians became the first franchise to cross the $100 million mark in brand value.[2] The brand value of Mumbai Indians in 2019 was estimated around ₹809 crore ($115 million), the highest among all the IPL franchises for the fourth consecutive year.[3]

Mumbai Indians won the 2011 Champions League Twenty20 after beating Royal Challengers Bangalore by 31 runs in the final. The team won the double by winning its first IPL title, in 2013, by defeating Chennai Super Kings by 23 runs in the final, and then defeated the Rajasthan Royals by 33 runs to win its second Champions League Twenty20 title both in the captaincy of Rohit Sharma later that year.[4][5] They won their second IPL title on 24 May 2015 by defeating the Chennai Super Kings by 41 runs in the final and became the third team to win more than one IPL title. On 21 May 2017, they won their third IPL title by defeating the Rising Pune Supergiant by one run in the final, thus becoming the first team to win three IPL titles.[6] While playing the tournament, they won their 100th T20, becoming the first team to do so. In 2019, they repeated the same feat as they won a record breaking fourth IPL title, by beating CSK by just 1 run on 12 May 2019 in the IPL Final. They became the first team to win the IPL title for the fifth time, by beating Delhi Capitals by 5 wickets on 10 November 2020 in the IPL Final.[7]

Mumbai Indians are currently captained by Hardik Pandya.[8] Mahela Jayawardene was appointed as head coach of Mumbai Indians before the 2025 season.[9] Kieron Pollard is the batting coach and Lasith Malinga is their bowling coach.[10] Rohit Sharma is the leading run scorer of the team while Jasprit Bumrah is the leading wicket taker of the team.

## Franchise history

[edit]

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced in September 2007 the establishment of the Indian Premier League, a Twenty20 competition to be started in 2008.[11] In January 2008, the BCCI unveiled the owners of eight city-based franchises. The Mumbai franchise was sold to the Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) for $111.9 million, making it the most expensive team to be sold in the league.[12] RIL, owned by Mukesh Ambani, acquired the rights to the franchise for a period of 10 years.

### 2008–2009: Struggle in the initial seasons

[edit]

The Indian Premier League named four players as icon players for their respective city franchises which made the players unavailable to play for any team other than their city team. Sachin Tendulkar was named Mumbai's icon player. The icon player was also entitled to earn 15% more than the next-best paid player in their team. At first player auctions for the inaugural IPL season conducted in February 2008, the Mumbai franchise bought several star international cricketers such as Sanath Jayasuriya, Harbhajan Singh, Shaun Pollock, Lasith Malinga and Robin Uthappa.[13] The franchise named Sachin Tendulkar as the captain of the team and appointed former India cricketer Lalchand Rajput as the head coach. However, Tendulkar was injured before the start of the 2008 season due to which Harbhajan Singh took over as the captain in the initial stage of the season. The team got off to a bad start in the season, losing their first four games by comprehensive margins. Their first match was a five-wicket defeat to the Royal Challengers Bangalore on 20 April 2008 at the Wankhede. Their stand-in captain, Harbhajan, was suspended from the tournament for reportedly slapping Sreesanth during Mumbai's league match against Kings XI Punjab. After Harbhajan's suspension, Shaun Pollock assumed leadership duties until Tendulkar's return on 24 May. Under Pollock's captaincy, Mumbai won six out of their next six games, which left them needing to win two more out of the remaining four matches to qualify for the semi-finals. Mumbai had three last-over defeats in the next three games, including two off the last ball, before winning their last league match. They finished fifth in the points table with 7 wins and 7 losses, missing out on a semi-final spot by just one point.[14]

The 2009 season was played in South Africa as it coincided with multi-phase 2009 Indian general elections due to which the Government of India refused to commit the Indian paramilitary forces to provide security for the IPL. Before the start of the season, Mumbai Indians traded Robin Uthappa for Zaheer Khan with Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Ashish Nehra for Shikhar Dhawan with the Delhi Daredevils.[15] Shaun Pollock retired after the first season and became the head coach of the team. Lasith Malinga, who missed the previous season due to an injury, returned to the team. At the player auction, Mumbai bought South African batsman JP Duminy to strengthen their batting department. After winning their opening match against the Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai struggled to put up consistent performances during the season. They relied heavily on Duminy and Tendulkar's batting, and Malinga's bowling, along with minimal contributions from other players. With only five wins from 14 matches, Mumbai finished on seventh place in the league table.

### 2010–2012: Rise as a strong team

[edit]

Lasith Malinga is the leading wicket-taker for MI in IPL with 150 wickets since its inception.[16]

At the 2010 players auction, Mumbai Indians bought Trinidadian all-rounder Kieron Pollard for $750,000 following a secret tiebreaker. After the auction, they signed up ten uncapped Indian players out of whom seven were former ICL players. Former India cricketer Robin Singh was named as the head coach of the team as Pollock took up the role of bowling coach. Mumbai had to shift their home venue to Brabourne Stadium for the season since the Wankhede was undergoing renovation to host some matches of the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. Mumbai won seven of their first eight games to take the top spot in the points table. Their success was mainly due to the efforts of Tendulkar, Malinga, Harbhajan, Ambati Rayudu and Saurabh Tiwary. They won three of the remaining six league games and finished with 20 points from 14 games at the top of the points table. They beat the Royal Challengers Bangalore by 35 runs in the semi-final, thanks to Pollard's all-round efforts (33* from 13 balls and 3/17). At the final, they were defeated by the Chennai Super Kings by 22 runs. The Mumbai team management was criticised for the "strategic errors" during the final, such as sending Abhishek Nayar and Harbhajan at batting positions 3 and 4 respectively, while Duminy and Pollard were sent at 7 and 8. Mumbai skipper Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 618 runs at an average of 47.53 and strike rate of 132.6, won the Orange Cap for scoring most runs in the season. Mumbai qualified for the 2010 Champions League Twenty20 where they were eliminated in the group stage with two wins and two defeats in four matches.

In 2011, with the addition of two new teams to the IPL, the IPL Governing Council declared that each franchise could retain a maximum of four players of their 2010 squad, and the rest of the international players would be auctioned. Mumbai Indians retained Tendulkar, Harbhajan, Pollard and Malinga for a sum of $4.5 million. This retention left the franchise with the power of spending $4.5 million at the auction, where they purchased Indian batsman Rohit Sharma for $2 million, former Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds for $850,000, and pacer Munaf Patel for $700,000. Mumbai won eight of their first ten league games, but later experienced a loss of form that led to three consecutive defeats and a last-ball win in their last league match. They finished third on the points table with 18 points from 14 games and qualified for the Eliminator. The Eliminator was played at the Wankhede where Mumbai faced the Kolkata Knight Riders. After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, Mumbai restricted Kolkata to 147 in 20 overs and chased down the target for the loss of six wickets with four balls to spare. Munaf Patel won the Man of the Match for his bowling figures of 3/27. With this win, Mumbai qualified for the Qualifying final against Royal Challengers Bangalore, the winner of which would play the Super Kings in the final. Mumbai skipper Tendulkar won the toss again and put their opposition into bat who set Mumbai a target of 186. Mumbai lost wickets at regular intervals from the start of their innings and scored only 142/8, falling short by 43 runs. The top two leading wicket-takers of the season were Mumbai Indians pacers Lasith Malinga and Munaf Patel with 28 and 22 wickets respectively.

Mumbai qualified for the 2011 Champions League Twenty20 held in India. Before the start of the tournament, six first-choice Indian players in the Mumbai squad, including Tendulkar, Sharma and Patel, were ruled out of the tournament due to injuries, and two more Indian players were ruled out based on medical reports. This left their 14-member squad with only six Indian players, while the tournament allowed a maximum of four overseas players and minimum of seven local players in the playing eleven. An exception was made for the Mumbai Indians, which permitted them to field five overseas players during the tournament. Harbhajan was named the stand-in captain in the absence of Tendulkar. Mumbai was placed in Group A alongside Chennai Super Kings, New South Wales Blues, Cape Cobras and Trinidad & Tobago. Mumbai had two wins, one defeat and one no result in the group stage, which gave them second place on the group points table with five points. They qualified for the semi-final and Mumbai batsman Suryakumar Yadav returned to the squad after recovering from his injury. This led to the withdrawal of the concession given by the Champions League for the Mumbai Indians to field five overseas players. Mumbai faced Somerset County Cricket Club in the semi-final at Chennai. Batting first, Mumbai made 160/5 in 20 overs. Somerset's chase was dented by Malinga who picked four wickets for 20 (all bowled) to help Mumbai restrict Somerset to 150 and win the match by 10 runs. The final was also played in Chennai where Mumbai met Royal Challengers Bangalore. Mumbai batted first and managed only 139 in 20 overs. Bangalore started strongly in the run-chase, putting 38 for the first wicket before Malinga broke the partnership. Harbhajan then picked up the key wickets of Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli, triggering a batting collapse, and eventually Bangalore were bowled out for 108, giving Mumbai a 31-run victory and their first-ever title. Harbhajan was named player of the match, and Malinga won the man of the tournament award. Andrew Symonds retired from all forms of cricket in early 2012.

Before the start of the 2012 season, the Mumbai Indians traded Dinesh Karthik from Kings XI Punjab and Pragyan Ojha from the Deccan Chargers for undisclosed sums. At the auction, the franchise bought five players, including R. P. Singh, Thisara Perera (both for $600,000) and Mitchell Johnson. Tendulkar stepped down from captaincy hours before the season's first game following which Harbhajan was appointed as the captain. In the first half of the league stage, Mumbai had four wins and four defeats, including three losses at home. Mumbai did not have a fixed opening combination, with Tendulkar missing out four matches due to an injury and other opening batsmen failing to show consistency. Johnson was ruled out of the rest of the season in late April with an injury and Dwayne Smith was named his replacement in the squad. Mumbai fared better in the second half of the league stage, winning six of their eight matches. They finished third on the points table with 20 points from 16 matches and qualified for the Eliminator against the fourth-placed Chennai Super Kings at Bangalore. Mumbai won the toss and put Chennai in to bat first. After losing two wickets inside the first two overs, Chennai managed to put up 187/5 in 20 overs mainly because of their captain MS Dhoni's unbeaten 20-ball 51. Mumbai's chase had started solidly with the score reading 47/0 in the fifth over, before they started losing wickets at regular intervals to end at 149/9 and lose the match by 38 runs. They gained direct qualification to the 2012 Champions League Twenty20 in South Africa, along with the three IPL teams that finished at the top that season. Mumbai, placed in Group B, was winless in the tournament with three defeats and one no result.

### 2013: The IPL and CLT20 Double

[edit]

Rohit Sharma became the captain of Mumbai Indians in 2013 and has since led them to five IPL titles.

The 2013 IPL saw Anil Kumble being appointed as the chief mentor after he quit a similar position from Royal Challengers Bangalore. Due to a slump in batting form of Ricky Ponting, he was eventually dropped from the playing eleven and Rohit Sharma took over the leadership of the team. With the experienced advice of Anil Kumble, Jonty Rhodes and Sachin Tendulkar, the team emerged victorious in IPL 2013.

In 2013, Mumbai Indians started off by losing against the Royal Challengers Bangalore due to the efforts of Chris Gayle and pace bowler Vinay Kumar. However, they were able to make a comeback in that match because of Dinesh Karthik, and Mumbai lost by just one run. In the second match against the Chennai Super Kings, the openers were dismissed but due to the efforts of Dinesh Karthik and Kieron Pollard, Mumbai managed to put a defendable score on the board. The Mumbai Indians bowlers started off well by dismissing Murali Vijay and the match went till the last over. The Super Kings needed 16 runs off the last over with MS Dhoni on strike and Munaf Patel to bowl; Patel dismissed Dhoni on the first ball and Mumbai won the match comfortably by 9 runs. In their third match against the Delhi Daredevils, Mumbai once again lost their openers Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar. Dinesh Karthik again brought the match within Mumbai's grasp, with the help of Rohit Sharma, which helped the Mumbai Indians reach the formidable score of 209/5. At one stage, it looked like David Warner would snatch the game away from Mumbai, but the Mumbai Indians bowlers dismissed him. The Delhi Daredevils then collapsed, allowing the Mumbai Indians to win comfortably by 44 runs. In the next match against the Pune Warriors India, Mumbai got off to a flying start with a 54-run opening stand between the so-called Pon-dulkar (Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar). This was followed by a strong performance from Rohit Sharma due to which Mumbai scored 183/3 and won the match comfortably by 41 runs. In the next match against the Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai was bundled out for just 92, giving the Rajasthan Royals an 83-run victory. As a result, Ricky Ponting stepped down as the captain and retired from all forms of cricket. With Rohit Sharma in good batting form, he was made the captain. Under his captaincy, the Mumbai Indians improved substantially and won their first IPL title.

They continued their winning streak in the Champions League Twenty20. However, they had a slow start in the tournament and had to win their final match of the league stage against the Perth Scorchers by a margin. They did it by the combined efforts of Nathan Coulter-Nile, Dwayne Smith and skipper Rohit Sharma. In the final, Glenn Maxwell scored a quickfire 14-ball 37. Mumbai posted 202/6 and won the match comfortably by 33 runs.[17]

### 2014–2020: Dominance

[edit]

In 2014, Mumbai Indians lost five of their early matches in the UAE leg against Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Daredevils by big margins. They did well in their 5th match against Sunrisers Hyderabad but consequently lost the matches against their respective opponents.

In the Indian leg, they made a comeback by beating Kings XI Punjab who were at the top of the table at that time. After that, they were inconsistent with their performance. They won against Royal Challengers Bangalore but lost against Chennai Super Kings. They won against the Sunrisers Hyderabad but again lost against Kolkata Knight Riders. But after losing against the Kolkata Knight Riders, they won against Kings XI Punjab and the Delhi Daredevils respectively.

In the match against Kings XI Punjab, Lendl Simmons scored a hundred due to which they won comfortably by seven wickets.

With one game left to play, Mumbai Indians were fifth in the table with 12 points. In the last league-stage match of the season against Rajasthan Royals, who were fourth in the league table with 14 points, Mumbai needed to win by a big margin to leapfrog them and secure the fourth playoff spot. Rajasthan Royals set a target of 190 runs. Mumbai Indians had to reach the target in 14.3 overs in order to improve the net run rate and claim the fourth position in the table, but they just managed a tie with the Rajasthan Royals in 14.3 overs. So, the Mumbai Indians needed a boundary off the next ball to push Rajasthan Royals below and claim that fourth spot. Aditya Tare hit a six to a full toss bowled by James Faulkner. Due to that six, they reached the play-offs of the IPL but lost against the Chennai Super Kings in the eliminator, which ended their IPL 2014 campaign.

The Mumbai Indians qualified for the qualifier round of the CLT20 2014. Due to injury to their skipper Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard was named as their captain.

In the first match, they faced the FBT20 2014 champions Lahore Lions but lost against them, with Lahore Lions winning by 6 wickets in 18.4 overs. In the second match, they faced the Southern Express, who had a slow start and lost wickets regularly but managed to score 161/6 in 20 overs. The Mumbai Indians started off with an excellent opening partnership of 139 runs in just 14 overs. They lost their first wicket on the 4th ball of the 15th over, but skipper Kieron Pollard finished in a blistering way, scoring 20 runs from just 7 balls. But in the last match against the Northern Knights, they managed to score only 132 runs. Northern Knights comfortably chased down the target, winning by 6 wickets with 16 balls to spare. In this way, Mumbai's CLT20 2014 campaign ended.

Mumbai Indians won their second IPL title in 2015 after they defeated Chennai Super Kings by 41 runs. They started the season with 4 IPL defeats mainly due to their bowling. They lost Aaron Finch and Corey Anderson due to injury for the rest of the season, which meant Lendl Simmons got a chance back into the team. With the help of 6 half-centuries, he gave the team solid starts throughout the season. He was the top scorer for Mumbai with 540 runs and joint second (with Ajinkya Rahane) in total for the season behind David Warner. The introduction of another strike bowler, Mitchell McClenaghan, in the team provided good support to Lasith Malinga upfront. Mumbai went on to win 9 out of their last 10 matches to win the title, thanks to solid batting performances from Simmons, Rohit Sharma, Ambati Rayudu and Kieron Pollard, and good bowling from Malinga, McClenaghan and Harbhajan Singh.

In the IPL 2016 Auction, Mumbai Indians bought Tim Southee, Nathu Singh, Jos Buttler, Jitesh Sharma, KP Kamath, Krunal Pandya and Deepak Punia. They finished the season in the fifth spot in the points table.

In IPL 2017, the Mumbai Indians finished at the top of the points table, winning 10 out of 14 matches. They went on to win the trophy after beating Rising Pune Supergiant in a nail-biting finish.[18] This was their 3rd IPL title, making them the most successful team in the history of IPL.

In IPL 2018, the Mumbai Indians finished fifth after winning 6 and losing 8 matches. [19] [20][circular reference]

In IPL 2019, Mumbai Indians defeated Chennai Super Kings in the final by 1 run to clinch their record fourth championship. The final saw Chennai Super Kings needing 2 runs off the last delivery. Mumbai Indians bowler Lasith Malinga took a wicket on the final delivery, securing the victory for Mumbai Indians.[21] This win further solidified Mumbai's position ahead of the rest of the league in terms of championships.

Hardik Pandya scored 91 runs off 34 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders and made the fastest 50 off 17 balls in that match.

Alzarri Joseph recorded the best bowling figures (6/12) in the IPL history in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, which was also his IPL debut.

In IPL auction 2020, Mumbai Indians added six new players to the squad: Chris Lynn (₹20 million), Nathan Coulter-Nile (₹80 million), Saurabh Tiwary (₹5 million), Mohsin Khan (₹2 million), Digvijay Deshmukh (₹2 million), and Balwant Rai Singh (₹2 million).[22]

In 2020, the matches were played in the UAE due to the rising cases of COVID-19 in India. Despite having a strong team, Mumbai Indians were underrated due to their past records in the UAE and a superstition about winning titles in odd years. However, Mumbai Indians emerged as the season's most successful team, and clinched their fifth title.

### 2021–present: Struggles

[edit]

Before the 2021 Auction, Mumbai Indians released Mitchell McClenaghan, Sherfane Rutherford, Digvijay Deshmukh, Prince Balwant Rai Singh, James Pattinson and Nathan Coulter-Nile.

In the 2021 Auction, Mumbai Indians got back Nathan Coulter-Nile (₹50 million), Adam Milne (₹32 million), Piyush Chawla (₹24 million), Marco Jansen (₹2 million), James Neesham (₹5 million), Arjun Tendulkar (₹2 million), and Yudhvir Singh Charak (₹2 million).

In the initial matches, Mumbai Indians struggled on the slow pitch of Chennai which was one of the neutral venues for IPL 2021. They lost 3 out of their first 5 games. The main reason was the failure of their lower middle order. However, Mumbai Indians won their next two games, with the middle order showing some improvement and making crucial contributions to secure the victories.[23] They eventually ended the season at the fifth spot.

In 2022, two new teams were introduced. Ahead of 2022 IPL mega auctions, the team retained four players: Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Kieron Pollard and Suryakumar Yadav. They left Hardik Pandya who was one of their core players for a long time. In the mega auctions, they purchased back Ishan Kishan for a hefty sum of ₹15.25 crore, which is the second highest bid for an Indian player till date.

They lost their first eight matches of the seasons, the worst in the history of the IPL. They ended the tournament with 4 wins out of 14 matches, making the 15th season as their worst by finishing at the bottom of the points table.

The 2023 season was a topsy-turvy one for the Mumbai Indians. With their spearhead Jasprit Bumrah sidelined due to injury, the pace attack was led by English spearhead Jofra Archer and consisted of several domestic bowlers, including purchases from the 2023 auction. Despite a slow start, losing 2 out of their first 3 matches, the tournament saw Mumbai Indians rally back with solid performances from emerging bowler Akash Madhval and young talent Tilak Varma. The Mumbai Indians qualified for the playoffs, securing the 4th spot with 8 wins and 6 losses. After eliminating the Lucknow Super Giants during the Eliminator, the Mumbai Indians went on to lose to the Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2 to end their season.[24]

The 2024 season saw the homecoming of one of their core players, Hardik Pandya. He was made captain after much controversy over replacing their previous skipper, Rohit Sharma.[25] Due to the massive fan split over the captaincy change and the team's disjointed performance, Mumbai finished the season in last place with only 4 wins.

## Home ground

Wankhede Stadium in April 2011 during the World Cup final.

The Mumbai Indians played home games at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai for the first two IPL seasons. In the third season, in 2010, they played all seven home games at the Brabourne Stadium while the Wankhede Stadium underwent renovation to host group matches and the final of the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. Mumbai Indians won six out of the seven matches at the Brabourne Stadium that season.

Mumbai Indians now play their home games at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The stadium is named after former BCCI President S. K. Wankhede. The stadium is owned by the Mumbai Cricket Association and has a seating capacity of 33,108.

## Team identity

[edit]

### Team name, motto and logo design

[edit]

The motto of the team is "Duniya Hila Denge Hum...", which translates to We will rock the world.[26] The first anthem of Mumbai Indians was based on this motto, wherein the Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan was enlisted for a promotional video campaign.[27]

The team logo is the Sudarshan Chakra (or Razor) as initially the name of the team was supposed to be "Mumbai Razors" before Sachin Tendulkar suggested to keep it Mumbai Indians.[28]

### Jersey colours

[edit]

The team's primary colour is blue with golden stripes on either sides of the jersey.[29][30] The team colour was almost the same in 2008 and 2009, with Idea as the principal sponsor, except for the colour shade and additional sponsors. In 2010, a new kit with golden stripes was unveiled. In 2011, kit used in 2010 is being used with Hero Honda as the main sponsor. The 2011 jersey also has three gold stripes going towards the back on the side of the jersey for the new players in the team. The kit manufacturer was Adidas from the start of IPL in 2008 till 2014.[31] In 2015, Performax, an in-house brand of Reliance Trends, replaced Adidas as the kit manufacturer.

Main article: List of Mumbai Indians cricketers

During the player auction in 2008, the Mumbai Indians successfully bid for seven players, including two members of the Indian Twenty-20 World Cup winning side, Harbhajan Singh and Robin Uthappa. Sanath Jayasuriya, Lasith Malinga, Luke Ronchi, Dilhara Fernando and Shaun Pollock were other cricketers who were successfully bid for by the franchise.[32]

Outside of the player auction, the franchise also signed up Ajinkya Rahane and Abhishek Nayar (both from Mumbai), Yogesh Takawale (WK-batsman from Maharashtra), and Pinal Shah (WK-batsman from Baroda).[33] Saurabh Tiwary and Manish Pandey, members of the U-19 World Cup winning team, were the random picks drafted in during the second auction. Dominic Thornely was also signed by the Mumbai Indians for a sum of $30,000. South African fast bowler André Nel was signed in place of Dwayne Bravo who left the tournament early.[34]

In the 2009 player auction, the Mumbai Indians signed up South African player JP Duminy for $950,000. He was the third most expensive pick after Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff (both signed up for $1.55 million by Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings respectively). In addition, the MI management bought Kyle Mills for $150,000 and Mohammad Ashraful for $75,000. The team also signed Graham Napier and Ryan McLaren at the pre-auction signings.

In the IPL 2010, Mumbai Indians bought West Indian all-rounder Kieron Pollard for $750,000 ($2,750,000) after a silent tie-breaker with Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Kolkata Knight Riders. Pollard had impressed the teams with his performances at KFC Twenty20 Big Bash and Champions League Twenty20.

In 2011, as two new teams were added to the IPL, the IPL Governing Council declared that each franchise could retain a maximum of four players of their squad, only three of whom can be Indian players, and the rest of the international players would be put in the mega-auction. The Mumbai franchise, keen to have the same set of core players, retained captain Sachin Tendulkar, vice-captain Harbhajan Singh, all-rounder Kieron Pollard and fast bowler Lasith Malinga for a total of $4.5 million. The retention left them with the power of spending only $4.5 million at the mega-auction. At the auction, they purchased Rohit Sharma as one of the costliest players in the auction along with Munaf Patel, Andrew Symonds, Aiden Blizzard, a hard-hitting Australian batsman, and James Franklin, an all-rounder from New Zealand.

At the 2012 IPL player auction, Mumbai Indians signed South Africans Richard Levi and Robin Peterson for $50,000 and $100,000 respectively, Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson for $300,000, Indian fast bowler R. P. Singh for $600,000, and Sri Lankan all-rounder Thisara Perera for $650,000.

After the auctions, Mumbai Indians managed to get South African explosive opener Richard Levi, who gained attention after hitting the fastest century in T20 international cricket and hitting a record 13 sixes, after a bidding war with Pune Warriors India. Richard Levi was brought in as a replacement for Andrew Symonds, who retired from all forms of the game citing family reasons. Sachin Tendulkar stepped down as Mumbai Indians captain ahead of the IPL 2012 season-opener against Chennai.

At the 2013 IPL player auction, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting was purchased by Mumbai Indians for $400,000 and he became the new captain for the sixth edition of IPL. Additionally, at the auction, Glenn Maxwell, Phillip Hughes, Nathan Coulter-Nile, and Jacob Oram were purchased by the MI management.

In the 2021 Auction, Mumbai Indians bought Adam Milne for ₹3.2 crore (equivalent to ₹3.6 crore or US$420,000 in 2023), Piyush Chawla for ₹2.4 crore (equivalent to ₹2.7 crore or US$320,000 in 2023), James Neesham for ₹50 lakh (equivalent to ₹56 lakh or US$66,000 in 2023), Nathan Coulter-Nile for ₹5 crore (equivalent to ₹5.6 crore or US$660,000 in 2023), and also bought Arjun Tendulkar, Marco Jansen and Yudhvir Singh.

## Rivalries

[edit]

### Rivalry with Chennai Super Kings

[edit]

Main article: Chennai Super Kings-Mumbai Indians rivalry

Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have played against each other more times than any other two teams in the IPL.[42] They are the two most successful IPL teams and often termed as "big spenders" at the players auction.[43][44] The two sides have met each other at the final of the IPL four times, with Mumbai winning three times and Chennai winning once.

### Rivalry with Kolkata Knight Riders

[edit]

Both teams play in major markets, with Mumbai Indians based in Mumbai and Kolkata Knight Riders based in Kolkata. Mumbai Indians is the most successful IPL franchise with five championships. However, until Mumbai's third championship, both teams were tied with two championships each. In the first two seasons of the IPL, Mumbai swept Kolkata in all four games. It wasn't until the 2010 IPL season that Kolkata won against Mumbai. Both sides have been captained by Indian cricket legends at one point (Mumbai was captained by Sachin Tendulkar and Kolkata was captained by Sourav Ganguly). This rivalry has often played out in Mumbai's favour, as they have won 22 games compared to Kolkata's seven wins. They have faced each other twice in the playoffs.[45]

In 2011, both teams played against each other in the Eliminator round, marking their first playoff appearances. This was the first time that the two teams met in the playoffs. Mumbai won the match by four wickets and advanced to the next round, ultimately losing to the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

In 2012, both teams were chasing a playoff spot in the tournament. The game started poorly for KKR as their batting side struggled to score runs. However, KKR picked up the pace and ended the innings with 140/7. Mumbai, initially in a strong position at 60/2 with more than 10 overs left, unexpectedly collapsed, finishing their innings at 108 all out. Sunil Narine was named Man of the Match with 4 wickets, and KKR eliminated MI from the playoffs. KKR won its first championship that season. Knight Riders' owner Shah Rukh Khan was handed a 5-year ban at Wankhede Stadium, the home ground of Mumbai Indians. He was accused of walking on the field post-match and abusing the security guards.[46] In 2015, the ban was lifted.[47]

Mumbai and Kolkata faced off in the opening match of the 2015 season. Mumbai batted first and scored 168/3. This charge was led by captain Rohit Sharma with his 98 runs. Kolkata captain Gautam Gambhir scored 57 runs, leading his side to victory. Suryakumar Yadav's 46 runs were crucial to KKR's chase.

In 2017, Mumbai earned its 100th T20 win against KKR.[48] Later that season, both sides faced each other in the playoffs in the Qualifier 2 round. KKR had a poor batting performance, posting 107 runs and being all out. Mumbai was able to capitalise and won the match.[49] Mumbai went on to the finals to beat Rising Pune Supergiant to claim their third championship.

From 2015 to 2018, Mumbai Indians held an eight-game winning streak against the Kolkata Knight Riders. That streak was broken on 29 April 2019, when KKR posted a total of 232 runs and won by 34 runs. KKR's Andre Russell scored 80 runs, and MI's Hardik Pandya scored 91 runs. KKR holds the record for highest total for an IPL match played at Eden Gardens.[50] This victory was KKR's 100th T20 win.[51] Mumbai have won all three games between them since then.

In the 2022 and 2024 season, Kolkata beat Mumbai in all the matches between them. As of 2024, in the 34 matches both sides have played so far, Mumbai Indians are leading ahead with a staggering 23 wins while Kolkata only has 11 victories.[52]

## Philanthropy

[edit]

Mumbai Indians invited children of the NGOs to watch matches for free.

Mumbai Indians have supported the social cause of education to the underprivileged. They have raised funds for the cause via selling merchandise like wristbands signed by their players. The NGOs supported are Pratham, Ummeed, Akanksha, Teach For India and Nanhi Kali.[53]
