Mumbai Indians: The time has come for the IPL 2025 season, which the entire cricket world is eagerly waiting for. The stage is set for the 18th season of IPL with new rules. With new features, 10 teams.. 65 days.. 74 matches, the cricket festival has come to 13 cities.. and domestic and foreign star players are ready to entertain the fans. In a few hours, this cash-rich league will open with a match between defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, who have won five titles each, will face each other in Chennai on Sunday night. However, a bad sentiment is disturbing Mumbai Indians before this big match. Mumbai Indians.. have not had a good start in the IPL for the last 13 years. Despite winning five titles in the 18-year history of the league and becoming a successful team, Mumbai Indians have not won their first match since the 2013 season.
Mumbai Indians: Last Victory In 2012
This poor record is worrying the Mumbai Indians fans as well as the team. The last time Mumbai made a good start to the IPL was in the 2012 season. They defeated RCB in that match. After that, 12 consecutive seasons have passed.. Mumbai Indians could not make a good start. Despite not making a good start in these 12 seasons.. Mumbai has won five titles.
Mumbai, who lost to RCB in the first match in the 2013 season by 2 runs, finally became the champion and won their first title. Rohit Sena, who played their first match against KKR in the 2014 season, lost by 41 runs. In 2015, Mumbai, who played their first match against KKR again, lost by 7 wickets and finally emerged as champions and won their second title. In 2016, Mumbai Indians, who played their opening match of the season as defending champions, lost to Rising Pune Super Giants.

5 Titles Despite Poor Starts
Mumbai did not get a good start in the 2017, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 seasons. But they proved their strength by winning the title in the 2017, 19, and 20 seasons. With that, Mumbai fans used to feel sentimental that if they lost the first match, they would win the title. But they are worried as that sentiment has not been repeated in the last four seasons.
Despite the change of captain, Mumbai Indians’ worst record continues. Mumbai Indians, who entered the fray under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya last season, lost by 6 runs in the first match against Gujarat Titans. That is why Mumbai fans are afraid that this worst record will be repeated this time too.
Surya As Captain
Mumbai fans cannot imagine losing to CSK, which they consider a prestigious issue. In this context, they want this worst record sentiment not to be repeated. While captain Hardik Pandya is away from this match due to ban, Jasprit Bumrah has not yet met the team due to fitness issues. So, Suryakumar Yadav will lead Mumbai in this match.
