Top 3 most successful captains against Mumbai Indians in IPL history

Mumbai Indians (MI) were labelled chokers after failing to win the trophy for the initial five seasons. However, things changed for MI supporters in 2013 when Rohit Sharma guided the team to their maiden title win, with his sensational captaincy and batting skills.

Currently, they are the most successful team in the Indian Premier League (IPL), along with Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who have won five titles. In 2020, the Men in Blue became the first IPL side to win five trophies. All their title triumphs came under Rohit’s extraordinary leadership. Witnessing the 16-year IPL journey, cricket supporters will be eager to know captains who dominated MI.

Here are the three most successful skippers against MI:

3. Steve Smith

Australia legend Steven Smith was appointed Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper in the second half of the 2015 IPL. In his vast IPL career, Smith has captained Royals and Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS). The Aussie’s captaincy success rate against Mumbai is 75%, with six wins off eight contests.

RPS concluded their 2017 IPL campaign as runners-up under his leadership. During the competition, Pune and MI clashed with each other in four games and the former got the better of the latter thrice. Smith won three games against MI as RR captain as well.
