IPL 2024: Mumbai Indians Team Profile - Squad, Schedule, Journey Of The Powerhouse

Last year, the Indians finished third on the points table and made it to the playoffs for the first time since claiming their fifth IPL title in 2020. But the Gujarat Titans, then led by Pandya knocked Rohit Sharma's men out of the league in the second qualifier game.

The five time champions ended yet another season with a heartbreaking sound last year, but not without continuing their legacy of breaking records.

"Record trend-setters. Record breakers. Record storytellers. The Blue and Gold wave is one that is currently untouchable and BELIEVE us, it won’t stop until we add trophy #6 to our cabinet" said MI after the 2023 IPL season. Last year, the team maintained their record of winning consecutive matches in the playoffs stage in IPL since 2017. Not only this, Mumbai Indians registered six 200-plus scores, which is the most by any team in an IPL season.

Mumbai Indians are experiencing a whole new environment this time around. A lot changed with changing their captain after 10 years. MI Paltans have added right-arm fast bowler Gerald Coetzee from South Africa to the squad, Jasprit Bumrah is back after injury, and Sri Lanka's star bowler, Dilshan Madushanka has been acquired in the auction, among many other bold moves, all in effort to reclaim their dominance era.
