The Mumbai Indians are an Indian professional franchise women's cricket team that compete in the Women's Premier League (WPL), based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The team is owned by India's biggest conglomerate Reliance Industries, through its 100% subsidiary Indiawin Sports that also owns the men's team, winning the rights to own and operate the Mumbai-based franchise for a sum of ₹912.99 crore (US$110 million). The team is coached by Lisa Keightley and captained by Harmanpreet Kaur. The side won the inaugural and the 2025 edition of the WPL, both times beating Delhi Capitals in the final.
History
In October 2022, the BCCI announced its intentions to hold a five-team women's franchise cricket tournament in March 2023.[2] The tournament was named the Women's Premier League in January 2023, with investors buying the rights to franchises through a closed bidding process during the same month.[3] Indiawin Sports, the owners of Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, bought the rights to one of the franchises.[3]
In February 2023, Charlotte Edwards was announced as head coach of the side, with Jhulan Goswami named as their bowling coach and mentor and Devika Palshikar as the batting coach.[4][5] The inaugural player auction for the WPL was held on 13 February 2023, with Mumbai Indians signing 18 players for their squad.[6]
In March 2023, The Mumbai Indians, captained by Harmanpreet Kaur, went on to win the inaugural edition of the WPL, finishing second in the initial group stage before beating UP Warriorz in the eliminator and Delhi Capitals in the final.[7][8][9] Mumbai Indians all-rounder Hayley Matthews was named Player of the Tournament.[9]
In March 2025, the Mumbai Indians created history and became the first team to win multiple WPL trophies. Harmanpreet Kaur led the team to clinch their title for the second time.[10] The captain was awarded player of the match, and the team extended dominance to win the orange and purple cap; the holders being Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amelia Kerr respectively.[11]
In September 2025, Lisa Keightley was named the new head coach after Charlotte Edwards resigned to become coach of the England team.[12]
