However, the captain of the Mumbai Indians changed in 2013, and so did their fortunes. Since Rohit Sharma took over, they have won three IPL titles in the next five seasons.
In total, the Mumbai Indians made it to the playoffs of the IPL seven times out of ten and of these seven times, reached the final on four occasions. On an average, the franchise have 16.9 points per season, which is more or less the number required to make it to the top four of the league.
This statistic further advocates the consistency of MI and proves why they are the most successful team in the IPL today.
