The Mumbai cricket team, formerly known as the Bombay Cricket Team, is a cricket team which represents Mumbai in Indian domestic cricket.[note 1] It is governed by Mumbai Cricket Association. Its home ground is Wankhede Stadium in Churchgate.[1]
The team also plays its home matches at Bandra Kurla Complex Ground and Brabourne Stadium. The team comes under the West Zone designation. It was formerly known as the Bombay cricket team, but changed its name when the city was renamed from Bombay to Mumbai.[2]
Mumbai is the most successful team in the history of Ranji Trophy, India's premier domestic cricket competition, with 42 titles. Its most recent title was in 2023–24. It also has won 14 (and 1 shared) Irani Cups.
Mumbai has produced some of the greatest Indian cricketers of all time, such as Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar, Rohit Sharma, Vijay Merchant, Polly Umrigar, and Dilip Vengsarkar.[3][4]
