They qualified for the postseason in 2011 and 2012 but were unable to proceed to the championship game. However, once Rohit Sharma was appointed captain in 2013, the squad began to show signs of improvement. During his time with them, he has won five championships: in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. Two of those occurred after a rocky start to the season. Overall, MI has a 59.04 percent winning rate, which is the second-best in the history of the Indian Premier League.

KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), like the Mumbai Indians, had a rocky start to their Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign. They had three terrible seasons in a row, which was unprecedented. KKR finished sixth, ninth, and sixth in the first three seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL), respectively. They were in desperate need of a makeover, which came in the form of an acquisition in 2011.
Gautam Gambhir was signed by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the 2011 IPL auctions and was appointed the team’s captain. For KKR, it marked the beginning of a long and successful run. In 2011, they made it to the postseason and finished fourth overall. While they did not win their first IPL championship until 2012, in which they defeated the Chennai Super Kings in the final, they did win their second in 2013.

Following a near call with the playoffs in 2015, when they finished sixth, they went on to make the postseason in 2016, 2017, and 2018. However, after Gambhir’s departure from the team, KKR has only qualified for the playoffs on one occasion in three seasons (2018).
