IPL titles: 4
Mumbai Indians have been the most successful franchise in the Indian Premier League having won four titles - 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019. Along with it, they also won the now-defunct Champions League Twenty20 once in 2011. They are one of the most consistent sides in the tournament having made it to the play-offs in eight out of 13 seasons, going on to win four times and ending up as runners-up once, in 2010.
Here's how they have fared year on year:
How did they fare in the previous season: Mumbai Indians clinched the title in the 2019 edition by beating Chennai Super Kings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad in a thriller. They beat CSK by one run.
Win percentage: Mumbai Indians have the second-best win percentage of 57.75, behind Chennai Super Kings (61.28). They have won 107, the most by any team, of the 187 matches, lost 78 and won 2 in the Super Over.

Highest team score: 223/6 vs KXIP in Mumbai

Favourite opponent: Kolkata Knight Riders
Mumbai Indians have loved playing against KKR, they have the best win percentage (For teams against whom MI has played 10 or more matches) against the Knight Riders - 76 percent - with 19 wins from 25 matches and six losses.
Bogey team: Sunrisers Hyderabad

When they played in the UAE: MI struggled to adapt and lost all the five matches of that leg in 2014. It was a season where they bounced back and it was that famous last-ball six by Aditya Tare against Rajasthan Royals that propelled MI into the play-offs in a thriller at the Wankhede Stadium.
