IPL 2017: Mumbai Indians (MI) Probable Playing XI
It took the Mumbai Indians 5 years to win their first ever IPL trophy and along with the Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, they are the only side to have won the title twice.
They are also the only side along with CSK to have won the now defunct Champions League T20 twice – in 2011 and 2013 beating the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals respectively.
A lot was expected of them last year since they won the title in 2015 but they did not live up to their promise as they failed to qualify for the playoffs by two points as they finished 5th on the table with 14 points.
