Mumbai Indians, led by Rohit Sharma, is the most successful IPL franchisee having won three titles (2013, 2015 & 2017) and two Champions League (2011 & 2014) trophies.
Over the years, the Mumbai-based outfit has thrown up multiple talents like Jasprit Bumrah, Pandya brothers Hardik and Krunal, Ambati Rayudu and Yuzvendra Chahal who have gone to represent India at international competitions. The franchise is the most followed team in the IPL.
The defending champions did not get off to the best of starts in the IPL 2018 campaign as they suffered a one-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings in the tournament opener on Saturday at Mumbai.
