March 16, 2025: Mumbai Indians continued their remarkable start to 2025 by winning the Women’s Premier League (WPL) title for the second time in just three years. The victory was especially sweet, as they lifted the trophy in front of their passionate home crowd on Saturday, with the Paltan—Mumbai’s loyal fanbase—creating an electric atmosphere at the stadium. This triumph solidified MI’s position as the most successful team in WPL history, just like their men’s team in the IPL, having also won the inaugural edition of the WPL in 2023.
Nita M. Ambani, the owner of Mumbai Indians, expressed her pride and confidence in her team after the win. She was quoted by the Reliance Foundation, saying, “I had full confidence in my girls. They are unstoppable. We had spoken about fighting till the last ball and not giving up, and that is what we did. Nat has been fantastic throughout the season; her three wickets were fantastic. And the batting by our captain, Harman— it was just outstanding! We always credit our support staff. If you look at our dugout, there was never a quiet moment. To win two titles in 3 years is quite difficult—but as I said, my girls are unstoppable.”
Ambani also emphasized the importance of empowering women and how it can lead to exceptional results. “Why just my girls? When you support any girl, encourage them and empower them, you’ll see what they can deliver. I’m a proud owner of Mumbai Indians today—it means a lot. I am committed to empowering young girls through sport because education and sport go hand in hand,” she added.
This victory comes just weeks after Mumbai Indians’ other franchise, MI Cape Town, secured its maiden SA20 title. With this, Mumbai Indians further cemented their legacy as a global cricketing powerhouse, boasting an impressive 12 titles across the world. The team was dominant throughout the WPL season, with their players sweeping the top honors—winning the Orange Cap, Purple Cap, and the Most Valuable Player award.
The continued success of Mumbai Indians is a testament to the franchise’s rich legacy and its winning culture. The team has not only produced champion squads but has also entertained fans with their dynamic and thrilling style of cricket. As the WPL title is added to the list, Mumbai Indians’ footprint in global T20 cricket has expanded even further, with five teams spanning across three continents and four countries.
Mumbai Indians will be in action again next week as the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season begins. With a history of excellence and a deep connection with their fans, Mumbai Indians’ future in cricket looks bright.
With 12 total titles under their belt—5 in the IPL, 2 in the WPL, 2 in the Champions League T20, and one each in Major League Cricket MI New York (2023), ILT20 MI Emirates (2024), and SA20 MI Cape Town (2025)—Mumbai Indians stands as the most successful team in franchise cricket history. Their commitment to excellence, team spirit, and empowerment continues to inspire fans worldwide.
