Who captained Mumbai Indians to their first IPL title in 2013?

Rohit Sharma captained Mumbai Indians to their first IPL title in 2013.

Mumbai defeated Chennai Super Kings by 23 runs in the final at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on 26 May 2013. The victory gave Mumbai their first championship after they had been runners-up in 2010.

Rohit did not begin that season as captain. Ricky Ponting initially led Mumbai, but after a difficult start he was replaced in the lineup and Rohit took over the captaincy. Under Rohit, Mumbai improved during the latter part of the season and reached the final.

Kieron Pollard was the final’s match-winner with an unbeaten 60 from 32 balls, which can cause confusion in questions about leadership. Sachin Tendulkar was also a major Mumbai figure, but Rohit was the captain who lifted the team to its first IPL title.
