MI London
The Hundred 2026 · Kia Oval, London
Three consecutive men's titles. The most dominant team in The Hundred's history. Formerly the Oval Invincibles, now reimagined as MI London through Mumbai Indians ownership — and ready to make it four.
The MI London Story
When the ECB opened The Hundred franchises to overseas IPL investment, no acquisition was bigger or more symbolic than Mumbai Indians buying the Oval Invincibles. Reliance Industries — the conglomerate behind the world's most valuable cricket franchise — brought the iconic MI brand to England, creating MI London for the 2026 season.
The Oval Invincibles were already The Hundred's dominant team: three consecutive men's titles from 2023 to 2025, plus the first two women's editions in 2021 and 2022. Under the MI banner, they retain their home at The Kia Oval — Surrey's ground in south London and one of England's most historic cricket venues.
The MI ownership brings IPL-level investment, a global brand, and connections to the world's best T20 players. For cricket fans in London, it represents the merging of two elite T20 cricketing identities: the legendary Mumbai Indians and the Oval Invincibles dynasty.
