Mumbai Indians

As the start to IPL 2023 draws near, we discuss each countdown day as an MI milestone in the competition's history.

In a game filled with below-par batting performances on both sides, fielding misses, and a lot of pressure telling on the faces of the players, MI relied once again on Malinga to cheat the guillotine. His 40-run partnerships for the first three wickets drove the team to a comfortable position, with the victory achieved asily in 18.4 overs. MI's confidence in the run chase was akin to a great orchestra performance, with skipper Rohit Sharma the concertmaster. Lendl Simmons and Ro-hit made merry of the CSK bowlers with respective half-tons to see Mumbai post 202 in 20 overs. Mumbai Indians and the IPL are returning to the iconic Wankhede Stadium with a million voices singing #MumbaiMeriJaan. And so, ahead of the curtain raiser of our campaign, we look back at five iconic milestones in our 16-year-long IPL journey.
