IPL titles: 5
Mumbai Indians have been the most successful franchise in the Indian Premier League, having won five titles – 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. Along with it, they also won the now-defunct Champions League Twenty20 twice in 2011 and 2013. They are one of the most consistent sides in the tournament having made it to the playoffs in nine out of 15 seasons, going on to win five times, and ending up as runners-up once, in 2010.
Here’s how they have fared year on year:

Highest team score: 235/9 vs KXIP in Mumbai
Mumbai Indians’ highest team total remains 235/9 against SRH at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. It was their final game of the 2021 season and they needed to win by 171 runs or more to qualify for the play-offs. And they went for it. Batting first, Ishan Kishan went berserk with a 32-ball 84 and then Suryakumar Yadav joined the party with a 40-ball 82 to propel MI to a mammoth 235/9.
The win margin was still too much to ask for and Manish Pandey’s 41-ball 69 extinguished all MI hopes as SRH compete hard but fell short by 42 runs. Kishan was named the Man of the Match.
Bonus Point: Mumbai also hold the record for the largest victory in terms of runs. They beat Delhi Daredevils by 146 runs in 2017. After amassing 212/3, they bundled out Delhi for 66 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
