The Mumbai Indians (MI) have just unlocked a new achievement in the cricket world! They are the first team ever to play 250 matches in IPL history. This is a huge achievement, especially considering they reached this milestone before other strong teams like Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
MI has been a powerhouse in the IPL since the beginning in 2008. They’ve won a whopping five championships, playing aggressive cricket and building a massive fan base along the way. I mean counting their incredible victories in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020! Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, they have managed to become one of the most successful franchises in IPL and built a huge fanbase because of this.
This 250th match is extra special because things are changing for Mumbai. They have a new captain, Hardik Pandya after Rohit Sharma stepped down. While some fans miss Rohit’s leadership, everyone’s still cheering for MI’s success! This milestone match is a chance for the team to prove themselves under their new leader and show the IPL world that they’re still a force to be reckoned with.
Here’s a quick look at the top teams with the most IPL matches played:
1. Mumbai Indians (MI) – 250 matches
2. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) – 244 matches
3. Delhi Capitals (DC) – 241 matches
4.Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) – 239 matches
5. Punjab Kings (PBKS) – 235 matches
