Who is the Owner of Mumbai Indians in IPL? MI IPL Team Owner

Mumbai Indians (MI) is the most successful franchise in the history of IPL. With as many as five IPL titles since 2013, the franchise has exhibited enormous consistency in a competition as tough as the Indian Premier League.

The team have always believed in their motto of one family where players, support staff, and the owner share a close-knitted bond with each other. Mumbai didn't have the greatest of starts in the inaugural edition of the league in 2008 and they were quite a disappointment in the online cricket betting segment.

Blessed with some legendary names featuring in their ranks, MI have seen some fantastic cricketers don their jersey. The likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Sanath Jayasuriya, Shaun Pollock, Harbhajan Singh, and others donned the Mumbai jersey in the first few years.

However, it was in 2013 when a core group led by the young skipper Rohit Sharma managed to get their hands on the silverware for the first time in the IPL. They are now top favorites for every IPL.
