MI’s Dominance To Core Levels
The battle of Mumbai goes on with so many teams in the IPL. But there are three teams that they have tussle with.
· Chennai Super Kings (CSK) comes first on the list. Because just like MI, they have won five IPL titles too. And it was always captain-perfect MS Dhoni leading CSK and MI under Rohit Shamra, whom MSD backed the most. And they have reached the final team times when facing each other. In 2010, CSK beat MI by 22 runs. And in 2013, MI beat CSK by 23 runs. They met again in 2019 and MI won the game by 1 run. This is something that makes both fanbases go against each other.

· Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is another team where fans of RCB like to win better against Mumbai Indians. RCB has not won any IPL title, but they are the side with star players and great fans. So yes, this battle is always great to look and each side’s fans like a troll when they lose or win.
· Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is a team that has won three IPLs. Neither team have not faced yet in the final game of the event, but every battle they have, has a great impact and flavour of great outlook indeed. This is how and where Kolkata Knight Riders and MI fanbase clash and they create instance nature inside and outside the pitch.
Is it true that MI has a Baap?
When the nemesis of MI beats them, this picture comes out and they say “MI Ka Baap Kaun Hai”. But in reality, there is such Baap as they have won so many IPL titles and some of the others who started from the opening season in 2008 have not won it yet. It alone shows that MI Ka Baap Kaun Hai is just a trend that runs when they lose, which is part of cricket and it can go the other way around too. But overall, it is just about the fanbase and how they feel happy to get one better than others.
In fact, the legacy and impact of MI stand better than the banter. They have done a great job in winning joint-most IPL titles. And overall, they make a very balanced side that holds the keys to beat any side. Hence, it is hard to say who is the Baap of MI as they seem to not have one yet.
Final Take
MI Ka Baap Kaun Hai is just a banter that fans like to create. Because at the end of the day, it is about the fanbase pulling the legs of the side when they win. But in overall manners, winning 5 titles tell there is no clear Baap or Daddy of MI as they have won IPL many times.
In the end, it is clear to say that it is just a part of other fanbases that shows the value of cricket to the major levels indeed.
