2017 turned out to be another successful year for the Mumbai Indians franchise. After appointing Rohit Sharma as the captain in 2013, the team's fate changed dramatically and Mumbai Indians won 3 IPL titles in 5 years, in 2013, 2015 and 2017 respectively.

This is the most number of IPL wins by any team in the league. Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders have two IPL wins each. Sharma became the first captain to win it on 3 occasions when Mumbai Indians won the 2017 edition of the league, beating Rising Pune Supergiants by 1 run in the final.

MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir have led their respective teams to two title wins.

Rohit also has the second highest winning percentage in the IPL as a captain among players who have captained in more than 50 IPL matches. In the 66 matches that he has captained, he has won 40 and lost 26 with a winning percentage of 60.60. This is slightly less than Sachin Tendulkar, who has a winning percentage of 60.78 captaining in 51 IPL matches.
