MI are the most successful team in the history of the competition with five titles (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 & 2020) to their name. The Mumbai Indians squad enjoys an ardent fan following because of having cricketers like Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah among others within their ranks. Rohit Sharma's men would look to complete a hat-trick on IPL titles by winning the IPL 2021 and if MI manages to do so, they will become the first team in the IPL's history to win three titles in a row.
