The Mumbai Indians (MI), one of the most successful franchises in Indian Premier League (IPL) history, are gearing up for a determined comeback in the 2025 season after a disappointing 2024 campaign. With five IPL titles to their name (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020), MI has established itself as a powerhouse in the tournament.
While IPL 2024 saw them finish last on the points table, fans are eagerly anticipating a turnaround in the upcoming season. Among MI’s fixtures in 2025, three highly anticipated matches are set to attract record-breaking viewership.
