Mumbai Indians, the only team from India’s capital city, are owned by Indian multinational conglomerate Reliance Industries Limited and were founded in 2008.
The team is coached by former Sri Lankan batsman Mahela Jayawardene and captained by Rohit Sharma, the vice captain of the Indian national team.
Mumbai Indians usually play at the 33,108-seater Wankhede Stadium and are currently the most successful team in the history of the IPL.
The team has won the IPL on four occasions in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019.
As reigning champion the team will be among the favourites to retain their title after a strong season last year.
In 2019, the team defeated Chennai Super Kings in the final, winning by one run, to become the first team to win the IPL for a fourth time.
Fans will be hoping to see the best out of their star players this season once more including Rohit Sharma who leads from the front.
Six new players have joined the team ahead of the 2020 season including Chris Lynn, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Saurabh Tiwary, Mohsin Khan, Digvijay Deshmukh and Balwant Rai Singh.
