“It’s a celebration of passion, belief and teamwork”: Mrs. Nita M. Ambani

By MI New York Media

The Mumbai Indians Family has added yet another glittering jewel to their crown, with MI New York winning the 2025 Major League Cricket (MLC) title, their second championship in just three seasons. This triumph marks Mumbai Indians’ 13th major title globally — and their third trophy in 2025 alone, following MI Cape Town’s SA20 win and the Mumbai Indians Women’s triumph in the WPL earlier this year.

MI New York delivered a commanding campaign, capped by a powerful performance in the final, reaffirming their dominance in Major League Cricket and further elevating Mumbai Indians’ stature as the most successful global T20 franchise group.

In a remarkable show of consistency and depth, MI teams competed across five leagues on three continents, reaching the playoffs in all five, and emerging as champions in three, across both men's and women’s competitions.

Mrs. Nita M. Ambani said, “What a truly special moment for the Mumbai Indians family! MI New York lifting their second MLC trophy in three years is not just a win on the field — it is a celebration of passion, belief, and teamwork. From the Women’s Premier League in India to championship victories in South Africa and now the USA, MI’s incredible journey across continents this year is a powerful reminder of how sport can build bridges and spread joy around the world. We are deeply grateful to all our fans — the MI Paltan — who have always stood by us and remain at the heart of our journey. My congratulations to every player, coach, supporter, and every member of our global MI family!”

Mr. Akash M. Ambani said, “This is a humbling and proud moment for all of us at Mumbai Indians. MI New York lifting their second MLC title — as part of a title hat-trick this year across India, South Africa, and the USA — is deeply fulfilling. Yes, it’s about winning trophies, but equally, it’s about building a global cricketing platform that gives talent the opportunity to shine and fans a reason to dream. This success reflects years of belief, culture, and commitment across our teams. Congratulations to every team member at MI New York who made this moment possible.”

With a total of 13 championship titles, Mumbai Indians are the most successful franchise in global T20 leagues — including 5 IPL titles, 2 Women’s Premier League titles, 2 Major League Cricket titles, 2 Champions League T20 titles, and one each in the ILT20 (MI Emirates, 2024) and SA20 (MI Cape Town, 2025).

With five teams across three continents and four countries, the Mumbai Indians continue to dominate the global T20 landscape, driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence and a deep, enduring bond with fans around the world.

MI Fam, MI Champion team, MI New York

It's a day to rejoice. We know you've been watching that last over on loop, you've smashed the replay button on Polly's acrobatic catch, just as we know you've been standing by us like a rock when the going got tough. ‘Peaking at the right time’, ‘It’s never about how you start but always about where you finish', ‘MI Spirit time', you've probably been hearing a lot of all this over the last few weeks. The tournament graph indeed was one of redemption, of rising from rock bottom. One more loss and we would've been out. But this where the peak MI character, ingrained in every player who dons the Blue and Gold around the world in all its different teams, rises. A character where we refuse to give up. A character where we always believe the trophy is ours. “Everyone stood together through highs and lows. Losing games is tough,” said Nicholas Pooran after the Final. "Every single person put their hands up…everyone had that belief and that is what I felt took us through. We believed there was a chance. That was the conversation, to just believe, stay together."After the action moved to Florida, the two back to back wins over LA Knight Riders injected some momentum into our campaign, helping us sneak into the playoffs. And Beast Mode arrived. “When you look at it, everyone that beat us twice in the tournament, when it mattered the most in the playoffs, we knocked them out. Sport is a wonderful thing. This moment may not come back again and we will never forget in our life. We are going to cherish it, embrace it,” he said. This is MI team. This is MI Fam. We are MI New York.

MI #OneFamily in 2025: Five playoffs, THREE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES across three continents

2025 has been special. Five teams. Five playoffs. A champion in all three continents – Asia, Africa, America. Winning in the Mumbai Indians #OneFamily. We have added another star to our crest. Our Blue has some more Gold. It’s another epic day in our history with MI New York scripting history in the USA and winning their second MLC title. It’s a day to celebrate. In fact, it’s been a year on the whole to celebrate. MI Emirates were the first to make it to the playoffs. MI Cape Town went a step further in what was an absolutely dominant SA20 campaign to bag their first title. The Mumbai Indians Women then took the baton and marched towards their second championship win in the WPL. The men then fought a stellar campaign, coming back after losing four of their first five matches in the IPL to go on a seven-match winning run and break open the playoffs door. Although it ended in the second Qualifier, it was a campaign for us to be proud of. And finally, the boys in America have capped off the year on a high. They went a step further, peaking at just the right time, having won just one out of the first seven league games, to go on an unstoppable roll, bringing home our 13th piece of silverware in our rich history. 5 – IPL (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020) | Mumbai Indians2 – CLT20 (2011, 2013) | Mumbai Indians2 – WPL (2023, 2025) | Mumbai Indians2 – MLC (2023, 2025) | MI New York1 – ILT20 (2024) | MI Emirates1 – SA20 (2025) | MI Cape Town Fam, let’s pop the champagne!

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!! MI NEW YORK – WINNERS, MLC 2025!

Yes, yes, yes! Tell the world, announce the crowning, MI New York are the Kings of the USA, the Champions of the Cognizant MLC 2025! It’s time to add some more Gold to our Blue. And what a game it was. An absolute cliffhanger that lasted till the very end. It really looked like the Washington Freedom had the chase well under control, but MI New York, in typical MI New York fashion, pulled off the chase with a new hero being unearthed in the process, Rushil Ugarkar. This is what a big final is about. The past doesn’t matter. It doesn’t make a difference that the team won just one game in the first seven games. We peaked when it mattered, we won when it mattered. And how! Oh Rushil, you Champ, RushilEntrusted with bowling the final over against two monster batters in Glenn Maxwell and Glenn Phillips, defending just 12 runs, this young USA bowler stepped up to the occasion like he’s done all season. Bowling the tough overs and winning the big moments is something he loves, and once again, he was right up for it. Just singles came off the first two deliveries. The third ball was a wonderfully disguised slower one that Maxwell swung and missed. He picked out deep mid-wicket off another top slower delivery off the fourth, snuck in another dot off the fifth. MI New York were through. A young USA fast bowler stood up against the best in the world to carry us home. Trent Boult sets it upNo better way to set it up than with a wicket off the first ball. Trent Boult, as usual, wasted no time in getting into the act, having Michael Owen caught off the first ball. And to top it up, had Andries Gous caught by Pollard off the fifth ball. The tone was set, MINY were on the prowl in their defence of 180. Although Freedom looked in control of their chase with Rachin Ravindra, Jack Edwards and Phillips going strong and the asking rate staying within reach, we just didn’t throw in the towel. We hung in there, ensured the asking rate stayed over eight-an-over at all times, and kept the pressure up. Quinny’s night to set it up He might have had a quiet tournament so far, but come the big night, Quinton de Kock absolutely nailed it. A 46-ball 77 with six fours and four sixes, he set the platform with Monank Patel playing second fiddle. Although there was a bit of a middle-order collapse, a quickfire 13-ball 22 from Kunwarjeet Singh powered the team to a solid total. And it was enough on the big night. The pressure of runs on the scoreboard never deceives. Another piece of silverware has been added to our already studded trophy cabinet. #2 in the USA is in the bag. Start the party!!
