5 Greatest Mumbai Indians players in IPL history
Mumbai Indians won the title five times - 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020.
3. Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar and Mumbai Indians are synonymous. Mumbai’s ‘Numero Uno’ and their first captain joined the team as an Icon player ahead of the 2008 mega-auction. He was signed for INR 4.4 crore and was the third-most expensive player in the 2008 season, behind MS Dhoni and Andrew Symonds. Notably, the legendary cricketer was part of the franchise till he retired in 2013.
He has played 91 matches for Mumbai, including 78 in the IPL, and scored 2599 runs. He also hit a century for the franchise and was the leading run-scorer of IPL 2010. In that season, he made 618 runs in 15 matches at a strike rate of 132.61 and took the team to the final but unfortunately, suffered a 22-run defeat in the final against Chennai Super Kings.
After his retirement, Sachin has been an integral part of the Mumbai Indians family. He has been a mentor ever since and also suggested MI to appoint Rohit Sharma as captain in 2013.
