History [edit]

Reliance Industries Limited purchased the rights for the Mumbai franchise of Indian Premier League for a total of INR496 Cr during the auction on January 24, 2008. The franchise was eventually named the Mumbai Indians. The RIL bid made the Mumbai Indians the most expensive franchise in the 2007 IPL auction till 2010 edition. In 2011 team auction saw the Sahara Pune Warriors bought by Subroto Roy taking that title worth 1726 Cr ($ 375.2 m).

2008 IPL season [edit]

The season got off to a bad start for the Indians, having lost their captain Sachin Tendulkar. With Harbhajan Singh taking over as captain, the team proceeded to lose their first 4 matches of the tournament. After Harbhajan's suspension for slapping Sreesanth, Shaun Pollock assumed the leadership duties until Tendulkar's return on May 24. His return wasn't a big boost as he kept struggling with the bat and was poor in the field. He found it difficult to maintain strike rates of below 110. After his return Mumbali won 6 out of 6 games needing to win 2 more to qualify for semi final. However They were unable to do so as they lost 3 of their next 4 games. All these three games were lost on the last ball of the match. The match between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab played on May 21 was considered to be the best of the season with Yuvraj Singh diving full length to run out the MI batsman on the last delivery of the match. The Indians finished with a record of 7 wins and 7 losses. Sanath Jayasuriya played a vital role in securing two important wins for the team.

Mumbai Indians were the most watched team on television in the first edition of the IPL tournament, totaling to 239 million viewers.[2] After posting a revenue of INR69 crore and expenditure of INR85 crore, the first season left the owners with net loss of INR 16 crore and were expected to break even in the 2009 season.[3]

2009 IPL season [edit]

At the 2009 IPL auction, Mumbai Indians brought in new players; JP Duminy, Kyle Mills and Mohammad Ashraful for $ 950,000, $ 150,000 and $ 75,000 respectively. The team also signed Graham Napier and Ryan McLaren at the pre-auction signings. As a part of tradings, Mumbai Indians exchanged Ashish Nehra with Delhi Daredevils for Shikhar Dhawan and exchanged Robin Uthappa for Zaheer Khan with Royal Challengers Bangalore.

The 2nd version of the League, which was hosted in South Africa as the season coincided with multi-phase 2009 Indian general elections and the Government of India refused to commit security by Indian paramilitary forces. Mumbai Indians faced Chennai Super Kings in the opening match, which the former defended the score comfortably. However, Mumbai Indians scrambled up later in the season with successive defeats, and hence ending up in the bottom two at the points table.

2010 IPL season [edit]

During the 2010 IPL player auction, Mumbai Indians bought West Indian all-rounder Kieron Pollard for $2,750,000, after a silent tie-breaker with Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Kolkata Knight Riders. The team had a strong start after defending a total of 212 against the Rajasthan Royals in their first match and went on to beat Delhi Daredevils defending another 218. The team was supported by match-winning knocks from Sachin Tendulkar, Saurabh Tiwary, Ambati Rayudu. However the Mumbai Indians crumbled to the Royal Challengers Bangalore for their first loss in 3 games. In their next game, Mumbai Indians, after restricting the Kolkata Knight Riders to 155, chased the total with ease, as Sachin Tendulkar scored a blazing knock of 71 from 48 balls. They also won in the same fashion against Chennai Super Kings with Sachin Tendulkar, again playing a match-winning knock of 72 from 52 balls. They continued their winning streak by beating the defending champions, Deccan Chargers, thanks to an amazing knock of 49 from just 18 balls and a spell of 3–31 by Harbhajan Singh. They also went on to beat Kings XI Punjab by 4 wickets, courtesy of Shikhar Dhawan, Saurabh Tiwary & Rajagopal Sathish. They also defeated the Deccan Chargers by 63 runs and won their 7th game in 9 games played. On April 11, 2010, Mumbai Indians beat Rajasthan Royals to become the first team in IPL 2010 to qualify for semi-finals. In their 12th game, they defeated Delhi Daredevils and remained the table toppers with 18 points and a run rate of +1.12. In their next match, they beat the Royal Challengers in their home ground in a match that was delayed due to a small intensity blast in the stadium premises. In the final league game against Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians rested many of their key players. Dwayne Bravo led the team in absence of Sachin Tendulkar and they went on to lose the game by nine wickets. With 20 points they were at the top of the points table and played their first IPL semi-final against Royal Challengers Bangalore. They crushed their opponents in the semifinals despite losing Sachin Tendulkar for a single digit score, which happened to be his first single digit score that year in all forms of the game. They lost their first IPL final by 22 runs to Chennai Super Kings after failing to chase 169. They also qualified for Champions League Twenty20 2010 along with Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Sachin Tendulkar amassed 618 runs in that tournament with a strike rate of 132.61 and won the Orange Cap for becoming the highest run-getter of that season.[4] He also won the 'Best Batsman' and the 'Best Captain' awards at the IPL Awards 2010.[5]

2011 season [edit]

IPL 2011 group fixtures [edit]

Each team in the IPL 2011 will play 14 games in total, which adds up to 70 group games for the entire league. The ten teams have been divided up into two groups of five teams each. Each team would thus be playing 1) home and away matches with the remaining four teams in its group, 2) a home and away match with one randomly chosen team from the other group and 3) one match each with the remaining four teams of the other group (two of these four matches at home and two away). However, this division into groups will not have any relationship to the points table, which would be compiled together for all ten teams, and from which the top four teams will qualify for the next round of matches.[6] The Mumbai Indians got off to a flying start by defeating Delhi Daredevils and restricting them to a meagre total of 95,courtesy of Malinga's 5 wicket haul. They then won their next game against Royal Challengers Bangalore with considerable ease. In their 3rd game they lost to the Kochi Tuskers Kerala despite scoring 185 odd runs. They got back to winning ways with wins over Pune Warriors India and the Chennai Super Kings, during which Harbhajan Singh took a 5 wicket haul and Rohit Sharma scoring a stunning 87 of 48 balls. Next they defeated Deccan Chargers with a fantastic stand of 102 from Rohit Sharma and Andrew Symonds after going from 70–1 to 70–4.

IPL Season 2011 had given the privilege for all team to restructure their contracts with respect to their squad change after completing a three year phase. Mumbai Indians introduces Aiden Blizzard, a hard-hitting Australian batsman and James Franklin, an all rounder from New Zealand. The team lead by Sachin Tendulkar had a good start, by comfortably winning their first two matches against Delhi Daredevils by 8 wickets and Royal Challengers Bangalore by 9 wickets. Sachin Tendulkar once again shown its impressive performance this IPL season, scoring 513 runs from 10 matches played and Lasith Malinga was the best bowler that season, taking 28 wickets from 15 matches played. Mumbai Indians has been the most balanced team of this IPL season winning 10 matches out of 15 played and has been at no.1 position in points table for long. James Franklin helped Mumbai Indians in beating Kolkata Knight Riders by 7 wickets on May 22 with a vital contribution of 45 runs off 23 balls, helped Mumbai Indians qualify for the Qualifiers at 3rd spot ahead of Kolkata Knight Riders. On May 25 in the eliminator round, Kolkata Knight Riders put a modest total of 147 in 20 overs and with the Sachin TendulkarAiden Blizzard opening duo gave a blazing start to the Mumbai Indians innings, putting on 81 runs in 7.5 overs to set the platform and James Franklin unbeaten at 29 runs led Mumbai Indians for the victory by 4 wickets fixing a spot in the Playoff against Royal Challengers Bangalore. It was the second consecutive season the Mumbai Indians reached the semifinals. Mumbai Indians lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore by 43 runs in the playoffs for the final.[7] Chennai Super Kings eventually won the IPL season four by defeating RCB.in 2011. In 2011 Mumbai Indians crawled at a snails pace to get pass the target of 112.

Champions League Twenty20 [edit]

Mumbai Indians were the winners of the 2011 edition of the Champion League Twenty20 which was held in the Indian Sub-Continent this season. They defeated the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final held at Chennai by 31 runs. Harbhajan Singh was named the Man-of-the-Match and Lasith Malinga was awarded the Man-of-the-Series. They were led by Harbhajan Singh in the whole tournament due to absence of Sachin Tendulkar and other important players such as Rohit Sharma, Munaf Patel due to injuries.[8]

2012 season [edit]

IPL 2012 pre-season signings [edit]

During the transfer window, Mumbai Indians was the first team to induct a new player in their squad. Tamil Nadu wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik transferred to Mumbai Indians for $2.35 million (Rs 12.4 crores approximately).[9] Also making a switch was Rajagopal Sathish, who moved to Kings XI Punjab for an undisclosed amount. In their latest trade, Indian left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha has transferred to Mumbai Indians from Deccan Chargers for an undisclosed amount.,[10] while letting Ali Murtaza move to 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.

IPL 2012 group fixtures [edit]

Due to the disbanding of Kochi Tuskers Kerala, each team will play the remaining eight teams twice, once at home and once away. Therefore each team will play an extended season of 16 matches. Harbhajan Singh has taken over as captain, and Mumbai finished third. Their first playoff match was against Chennai Super Kings.

Mumbai Indians opened the season by defending Chennai Super Kings score of 112 in the 17th over, with Richard Levi scoring a half century on his first match for the team.[11] The team had won 10 matches out of 16 in the season, including a last ball finish against Chennai Super Kings, with 14 runs requiring of 3 balls, as Dwayne Smith, who was playing his first match in the team for the season hitting 2 boundaries and a six to attain the score. The match was considered as one of the most amazing turnarounds in the history of IPL.[12] Mumbai Indians managed to enter the play off round for the second consecutive time, have been gained 20 points in the tournament. 197 for 6 wickets was the highest total for Mumbai Indians in the season and second highest score in the history of IPL,[13] whereas individually Rohit Sharma had scored 109 in 60 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders was the highest.[14] Mumbai Indians were eliminated by CSK in the first eliminator tie, thus ended up fourth in the season.[15]
