Chennai Super Kings: Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians have unveiled their official jersey for the 2025 edition, starting from March 22.
"The jersey retains the iconic blue and gold palette symbolic of Mumbai Indians’ essence. Blue represents trust, confidence, and the team’s boundless potential, while gold signifies glory, achievement, and the relentless pursuit of excellence," MI said in a release.
MI captain Hardik Pandya shared a heartfelt message for the fans on the occasion, promising to uphold the proud legacy of Mumbai along with the team’s core of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma.
"Dear Paltan, 2025 is our opportunity to bring the legacy where it belongs. With the blue & gold on us, we will take the field to Play like Mumbai. This is not just our jersey. This is a promise to you. Chala bhetu, Wankhede la (Let’s meet, at Wankhede)!" he said.
MI, the joint-most successful team in the competition’s history, finished on the bottom of the table in the 2024 edition, winning just four matches of the total 14 league stage games in Pandya's captaincy return to Mumbai.
