Year-by-Year: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians Timeline (2013–2026)

The following timeline chronicles every significant season chapter of this rivalry, documenting key results, turning-point performances, and the evolving dynamics between the two franchises.

2013 — Inaugural SRH Season

SRH Enters the Arena; MI Dominant

Sunrisers Hyderabad replaced Deccan Chargers from IPL 6 (2013). In their very first season, SRH and MI faced off twice. Mumbai Indians, captained by Rohit Sharma, were on the path to their maiden IPL title and showcased the gulf in squad depth. However, SRH’s bowling — led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar — was already making noise. MI won both encounters that season, finishing as champions.

2014 — SRH Finds Its Identity

Bowling-First Doctrine Takes Shape

IPL 7 saw SRH under David Warner’s growing influence with the bat and a lethal pace attack. SRH registered their first notable win against MI in this period, asserting the bowling credentials that would define the franchise. MI, meanwhile, failed to defend their title, finishing lower in the standings. Both teams split results, but SRH’s performances hinted at a rivalry beginning to balance itself.

2015 — MI’s Dominance Continues; SRH Fights Back

Mumbai Indians Win IPL 2015 Title

MI claimed their second IPL title in 2015. In their head-to-head encounters with SRH, MI held the upper hand through the combination of Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, Lasith Malinga’s death-overs bowling, and Kieron Pollard’s finishing prowess. Still, SRH managed a dramatic victory in one of the league phase encounters, showcasing Bhuvneshwar Kumar taking a four-wicket haul to restrict MI to a below-par score.

2016 — SRH Wins the IPL Title; The Great Levelling

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Finest Hour

IPL 9 was SRH’s crowning moment. David Warner led from the front with aggressive batting, while the combination of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Barinder Sran, and Mustafizur Rahman dismantled opposing lineups. SRH won the IPL 2016 title, defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final. In their fixtures against MI, SRH demonstrated elite bowling discipline to put MI under constant pressure. The rivalry gained a new dimension: now both sides had credibility at the top level.

2017 — MI’s Third Title; Classic Encounters

Rohit Sharma’s Tactical Mastery on Display

Mumbai Indians won their third IPL title in 2017. The SRH vs MI encounters this season were classics — low-scoring thrillers where bowling attacks dominated. MI edged SRH in decisive moments, with Jasprit Bumrah emerging as the best death-bowler in the tournament. Kane Williamson and Yuvraj Singh played crucial knocks for SRH but could not consistently overcome MI’s well-rounded squad.

2018 — Kane Williamson’s SRH Heroics

Williamson Takes SRH to the Final

IPL 11 was SRH’s second title-final appearance. Under Kane Williamson — who replaced the banned David Warner — SRH had perhaps their most cohesive campaign. SRH beat MI in a pulsating encounter during the league stage, with Rashid Khan’s leg-spin proving unplayable. Although SRH lost the final to CSK, their performances against MI proved they were true title contenders.

2019 — Warner Returns; SRH Resurgence

David Warner in Electrifying Form

David Warner returned from his ban in IPL 12 (2019) and immediately became the tournament’s top scorer with 692 runs. SRH vs MI delivered a rain-affected thriller where Duckworth-Lewis calculations played a decisive role. Warner’s blistering opening partnership with Jonny Bairstow was a spectacle, but MI’s bowling — particularly Bumrah and Alzarri Joseph — kept the game on a knife-edge.

2020 — UAE Bubble; MI Dominate Again

IPL 2020: The Pandemic Season

The IPL was held entirely in the UAE amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Mumbai Indians lifted their fifth title, with Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan leading their batting charge. SRH had a turbulent campaign — they made the playoffs but MI ultimately proved too strong both in their head-to-head and in the tournament as a whole. Trent Boult’s swing bowling consistently troubled SRH’s top order.

2021 — SRH’s Difficult Season; MI Struggle Too

Both Franchises Face Mid-Season Turbulence

IPL 2021 saw SRH in chaos — David Warner was dropped mid-tournament in a controversial move. Kane Williamson was handed the captaincy, but SRH failed to qualify for the playoffs. MI, despite their title credentials, also had an inconsistent campaign. The SRH vs MI fixture in 2021 produced a memorable moment when Rashid Khan trapped Rohit Sharma lbw with a brilliant wrong ‘un — a wicket that went viral globally.

2022 — Mega Auction Era Begins; SRH Rebuild

The Great Reshuffle Changes Everything

The 2022 Mega Auction reshuffled every franchise. SRH retained Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umran Malik (the new pace sensation). MI retained Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Kishan. The fixture between the two sides in 2022 featured Umran Malik’s electric pace — clocking consistently above 150 km/h — against MI’s power-hitting lineup. SRH upset MI in one encounter with a disciplined bowling performance, while MI won the reverse fixture comfortably.

2023 — Impact Player Rule; New Dynamics

Impact Sub Rule Transforms Both Teams’ Strategies

IPL 2023 introduced the Impact Player rule, allowing teams to substitute a player during the match. This fundamentally altered batting strategies — teams now fielded seven batters in their core eleven. SRH vs MI produced one of the highest-scoring matches of the season, with Heinrich Klaasen’s explosive batting for SRH countered by Suryakumar Yadav’s 360-degree hitting for MI. The impact player rule added another strategic layer to an already complex rivalry.

2024 — SRH’s Batting Revolution; Record-Breaking Season

SRH Set the IPL’s Highest Team Total: 277/3

IPL 2024 was perhaps the most spectacular season in the rivalry’s history. SRH, captained by Pat Cummins and powered by Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen, became the highest-scoring team in IPL history. In their fixture against MI, SRH posted astronomical scores. SRH reached the IPL 2024 final, losing to KKR, but their series against MI produced several 200+ totals on both sides. Jasprit Bumrah’s return to full fitness made MI’s bowling a match for SRH’s batting pyrotechnics.

2025 — Consolidation and New Stars

Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma Steal the Show

IPL 2025 saw the continuing rise of young Indian talent on both sides. SRH’s Abhishek Sharma was firmly established as one of T20 cricket’s most destructive openers, while MI’s Tilak Varma confirmed himself as a match-winner at No. 3. The SRH vs MI fixtures in 2025 were high-octane affairs, both finishing within the last two overs. SRH won one; MI won the other, maintaining the pattern of competitive parity that defines this rivalry.

2026 — The Rivalry Reaches New Heights

IPL 2026: Both Teams Reinvented After Mini-Auction

The IPL 2026 season brought fresh squad compositions for both SRH and MI following the pre-season mini-auction. SRH reinforced their pace department and retained their batting core around Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen. MI, with Hardik Pandya in the captaincy role and Jasprit Bumrah anchoring the bowling, approached the campaign as title favorites. Their 2026 encounter immediately became one of the most-watched fixtures of the season, continuing a rivalry that shows no signs of losing its intensity.

Top 5 Most Iconic SRH vs MI Matches in IPL History

Within the full SRH vs MI timeline, certain encounters stand apart for their drama, historical significance, or sheer quality of cricket.

1. SRH vs MI — IPL 2016 (SRH Win by 3 Runs at Wankhede)

This was the match that announced SRH’s championship credentials. David Warner smashed a blazing 74 off 47 balls to set a formidable target. MI, chasing 183, needed 15 off the last over — and Bhuvneshwar Kumar held his nerve, conceding just 11. SRH’s 3-run victory at the MI fortress of Wankhede was a statement win, and the franchise went on to lift the trophy that season.

2. SRH vs MI — IPL 2018 (Williamson’s 89* Against MI)

With David Warner serving a ban, Kane Williamson stepped up to produce one of the finest innings ever played in an SRH shirt. His unbeaten 89 off 51 balls dismantled MI’s bowling attack at Wankhede, setting a target MI never got close to. The win cemented SRH’s status as genuine contenders without their star Australian opener.

3. SRH vs MI — IPL 2021 (Rashid Khan’s Masterclass)

With SRH struggling to qualify, Rashid Khan produced a match-winning performance — 3 wickets for 14 runs — that exposed MI’s over-reliance on their top order. His dismissal of Rohit Sharma with an outrageous wrong ‘un went viral globally. SRH won by 13 runs in a match that showed the enduring value of elite leg-spin in T20 cricket.

4. SRH vs MI — IPL 2024 (Travis Head’s Century)

Travis Head’s stunning 102 off just 55 balls in 2024 encapsulated SRH’s batting revolution under Pat Cummins’s leadership. SRH posted 218/4 — one of their highest totals against MI — and defended it comfortably. Head’s century was a marker moment: SRH were no longer just a bowling team. They had become, arguably, the most dangerous batting outfit in the competition.

5. SRH vs MI — IPL 2026 (Klaasen’s Last-Over Heroics)

The second encounter of IPL 2026 at Wankhede was a classic. MI seemed to be cruising home when Heinrich Klaasen, in the last 4 overs, hit 44 runs off just 18 balls to turn the match on its head. SRH won by 14 runs in what many analysts described as one of the finest T20 chases of the 2026 season. Bhuvneshwar Kumar then removed MI’s last-order resistance to seal the win.
