Mumbai Indians (MI), the five-time IPL champions, always prefer to maintain their core players in the side, which leads to many franchise regulars in their run chart.
A few world-class batsmen who have batted extensively for the blue-jerseys are Sachin Tendulkar, Sanath Jayasuriya, Ricky Ponting, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Hardik Pandya, Jos Buttler, Ishan Kishan, and Suryakumar Yadav (nicknamed SKY).
They have always been a side with a rich batting order, and here are the top ten batters who scored the most runs for Mumbai Indians in the overall IPL seasons.
