MI have won a total of 13 titles in franchise cricket.
Mumbai Indians (MI) were the first Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise to have teams in multiple T20 leagues around the globe. They are also the most successful franchise in the world, having won a total of 13 titles across the men’s and women’s leagues.
Mumbai Indians, owned by IndiaWin Sports, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries Limited, have four sister teams. They have MI Cape Town in SA20, MI Emirates in International League T20 (ILT20), MI New York in Major League Cricket (MLC), and Mumbai Indians Women in Women’s Premier League (WPL).
Interestingly, Mumbai Indians have won at least one title in each of the five leagues. This year, they won in SA20, MLC, and WPL. Now they have added another team to the OneFamily, with major stakes in Oval Invincibles of The Hundred.
Having such a decorated cabinet, it would be fun to look at the Mumbai Indians franchise XI. This MI off-season XI will feature players from across global leagues, barring IPL 2025.
Starting with the batting line-up, the MI off-season XI will have an opening pair of Ryan Rickelton and Monank Patel. Rickelton was sensational in the SA20 earlier this year, where he struck 336 runs in eight innings at an average of 48 while striking at a superb 178. He played for the same franchise in the IPL 2025 and did a pretty decent job.
Monank Patel, playing for MI New York, was the highest run-getter in the MLC 2025. He amassed 478 runs in the tournament at a strike rate of 142 while averaging 37.
The number three spot goes to Tom Banton, who was outstanding for MI Emirates earlier in the year. The Englishman struck 493 runs at an average of 54.77 and a strike rate of 152. Banton smashed two hundreds and three fifties in the season.
Nicholas Pooran has been part of multiple MI teams. In the ILT20 2025, he hit 301 runs at an average of 37 while striking at 160. More recently, Pooran scored 360 runs in MLC at an average of 36 and a strike rate of 135.
