Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians is the IPL franchise that represents Mumbai. IPL 2008 season started with an unlucky start for Mumbai Indians, as the captain, Sachin Tendulkar, had to rest because of a hamstring injury till 14th May. After losing their first 4 matches under the leadership of Harbhajan Singh, the captaincy was passed on to Shaun Pollock. The team then won 6 matches continously. But their winning campaign stopped when they lost 3 out of 4 last matches. In total it won 7 and lost matches.
