#3 Mumbai Indians – 6 captains
The quest for a successful Mumbai Indians captain is a tale with a happy ending after their infamous first season. Sachin Tendulkar was announced as the leader before the 2008 season began but he had to make way for stand-in captain Harbhajan because of an injury.
Harbhajan was then suspended from the tournament after slapping Sreesanth during a game. Shaun Pollock then assumed the leadership until Sachin returned.
Their captaincy woes continued for seasons to come as they tried shuffling between Sachin, Ricky Ponting and Harbhajan with no great success until Rohit Sharma was asked to lead the team and boy, did he grab the opportunity!
Mumbai Indians won the championship in the first season that they were led by Rohit. His golden run continued as he led the team to their second championship in the 2015 season. He is not only the leading run-scorer for the franchise but also boasts of one of the best win-loss ratios as a captain in the IPL.
When the Mumbai batsman was injured, West Indian, Kieron Pollard took charge of the Mumbai Indians.
