Having won the IPL and Champions League T20 (CLT20), Mumbai Indians are not only one of the most popular teams, but also a very successful one. Coming into the 2016 season as defending champions, they will be hoping to go ahead of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the suspended Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as the team with the most IPL titles.

Sadly for the Mumbai-based franchise, they won’t be playing many matches at home this season because of the drought that has hit Maharashtra. This might harm support for them during matches, but their online support still remains strong.

A lot of their popularity can be attributed to the fact that they had Sachin Tendulkar, the most popular cricketer of all time, in their ranks for the first six seasons.
