The side is also known for featuring some of the biggest stars in international cricket throughout the years as well.

Though there have been some successful seasons, there have been a few of them have ended on disappointing notes as well, which the fans would not want to recall. It is time to discuss what went wrong in these seasons and at what position the side achieved during these years as well. Though there have been other seasons where they have failed to make it into the top four, it is these seasons that have been a complete disaster for the Men in Blue and Gold.

Here are the worst seasons for Mumbai Indians in IPL history:

3. IPL 2009: Wins- 05, losses- 08, N/R- 01 (Position - 7th)

The Mumbai Indians were led by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar during this season, which was played in South Africa. The franchise had some big stars within their team, but some of those big stars could not find any form during that season. Some of them were meant to play some crucial roles in the team as well. The tournament for MI was done after they lost their last three games and finished seventh on the table that year.

There were still some positives in the Mi franchise during that season, which includes Lasith Malinga who was the fourth-highest wicket taker in the tournament with 18 wickets. None of the MI batters went on to score over 400 runs that season, which was again, quite disappointing.
