Manchester City are one of the best, if not the best Football team in the world right now. They were a mid-table club, till 2008, but when it was acquired by City Football Group Limited, it slowly transitioned from a struggling side to world beaters.

The Manchester City team is a well-oiled side, managed by Pep Guardiola, who believes in the philosophy of passing the ball and suffocating the opposition team. They tend to follow a pattern, and stick to it and have achieved considerable success in the last decade.

How Mumbai Indians resembles Manchester City?

We often talk about cross-sport likability. So, if there is one team in IPL, which resembles Manchester City, then it has to be Mumbai Indians.

Just like City, MI were a struggling team till 2013. They reached the IPL finals in 2010, but it wasn't until Rohit Sharma took over that they became the invincible side in the IPL. Just like City' MI also have the money-power to buy the players they want in the auction.

Another similarity between the two sides is their scouting system. City have produced some brilliant academy players over the years, and similar to them, Mumbai Indians have also bought unknown commodity and turned them into world-class players.

Rohit Sharma, the former MI skipper is the Pep Guardiola for them. He instilled a winning belief in the side, just like how Pep instilled it when he first joined City in 2016.
