IPL Stats: Top 5 records by Mumbai Indians in the history of IPL
The Mumbai Indians are one of the most successful teams in the history of the IPL; only the Chennai Super Kings have a higher win percentage than them. Mumbai have won the IPL title 3 times - in 2013, 2015 and 2017. Hit-man Rohit Sharma is their captain and has been at the helm for all three titles.
In their 11-year journey through the tournament, the Mumbai Indians have set innumerable benchmarks and records for other teams to look up to. As IPL 2019 is just around the corner, let's take a look at the top 5 records of the Mumbai Indians in the history of IPL.
#5 Most catches in an innings by a player (non-wicketkeeper) - Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar was the Mumbai Indians' marquee player, and a role model and leader for the team. He was known for his exploits with the bat and the occasional turns with the ball.
Tendulkar won the Orange Cap in IPL 2010 and was a key part of their road to the final. He was unlucky not to be a part of an IPL-winning side (he was injured during the 2013 final).
Tendulkar holds another record in the IPL. He has held the most catches in a single match, against KKR in IPL 2008.
The match was a walk in the park for the Mumbai Indians as KKR were bowled out for 67. Shaun Pollock, Rohan Raje, DJ Bravo and Dominic Thornely wrecked the KKR batting lineup.
Tendulkar took the catches of Salman Butt, Wriddhiman Saha, Ajit Agarkar and Shoaib Akhtar in that match. This record hasn't been broken yet, although David Warner and Jacques Kallis later leveled the Little Master with four catches each.
