NaMo Bandra Blasters Team Profile: History, Records and Achievements

NaMo Bandra Blasters Team History

The NaMo Bandra Blasters were introduced as one of the original franchises in the inaugural edition of the T20 Mumbai League in 2018. Representing the bustling suburb of Bandra—a cultural and sporting hub of Mumbai—the team was envisioned as a blend of flair and fighting spirit. With the league’s objective to nurture local talent, the Bandra Blasters quickly became known for scouting and investing in promising young cricketers from Mumbai’s domestic circuits.

The team derives its name from the locality it represents, combined with the ‘Blasters’ identity that reflects their aggressive, explosive brand of cricket. Over the seasons, the Blasters have managed to build a strong cricketing culture, nurturing future stars while competing at a high level in the T20 Mumbai League.

The NaMo Bandra Blasters are one of the few franchises to have maintained a consistent presence across all seasons of the league and have been lauded for their emphasis on discipline, strategic depth, and development of young prospects.

NaMo Bandra Blasters T20 Mumbai League Journey

The NaMo Bandra Blasters have been a mainstay of the T20 Mumbai League since its inception, and their journey has been one of near-misses and consistent performances. In the early seasons, the team showed immense potential but failed to capitalize in the knockout stages.

While, the NaMo Bandra Blasters have never emerged victorious in the T20 Mumbai League, they do however, have reached the finals once in the seasons. Heading into the new edition of the T20 Mumbai League, the Bandra Blasters have an Indian icon in their ranks. Ajinkya Rahane is going to be captaining the side and will be looking to make a key impact for the NaMo Bandra Blasters and lead them to the ultimate glory. 

With each season, the franchise has continued to refine its squad composition, coaching structure, and match strategies. Heading into the 2025 edition, the NaMo Bandra Blasters are aiming to finally get over the line and lift their maiden T20 Mumbai League trophy.
