Mumbai Indians spokesperson said: “This year’s IPL has been one of the most successful years for us on and off-the-field and we, at Mumbai Indians, embrace it with a lot of gratitude. We take a lot of pride in how we have nurtured brand Mumbai Indians over the years balancing our core values and ethos and replicating them in our brand building initiatives.

“The faith of our brand partners amidst all apprehensions and challenges this season speaks of volumes of the stature of brand Mumbai Indians. We are thankful to all our partners looking ahead with added inspiration.”

Unfazed by market slowdown and apprehensions amongst sponsors globally regarding investment in sports due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, Mumbai Indians headed into the fresh season abroad adding four global brands – Marriott Bonvoy, Colgate, Cadbury Dairy Milk and William Lawson’s, for multi-year deals.

The franchise continued the partnership with brands like Samsung, Colors, Jio and Usha. The strong mix of international and Indian brands including Dream11, enabled the title-holders to match its last years’ sponsorship revenues, as the franchise continued to lead the market.

In a league, where franchise valuations are driven by star names, Mumbai Indians has continued with a core set of players like Kieron Pollard, Rohit Sharma, Quinton De Kock, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav who form the DNA of the team.

The five-time Champions are known to nurture young players like Ishan Kishan, Anukul Roy and Rahul Chahar rather than focusing on acquiring big-ticket names. The success of the team can be attributed to its method of belief, adapt and deliver which has contributed to the immense popularity of the franchise and was key to its success in 2020 despite challenges posed by Covid-19.
