Mumbai romped to their 5th IPL title defeating Delhi in the Dream11 IPL 2020 final on Tuesday.

Rohit Sharma and co. reinforced their credentials as the most successful franchise in the tournament history and broke their odd-year jin on Tuesday.
Mumbai vs Delhi: Kieron Pollard aims a dig at Chennai's Dwayne Bravo after Dream11 IPL 2020 final
After Mumbai wrapped up another successful Dream11 IPL campaign, Kieron Pollard couldn't help himself and aimed at a light-hearted jibe at his international teammate and Chennai star Dwayne Bravo. Speaking on the sidelines after the Mumbai vs Delhi clash, the West Indian all-rounder said that Mumbai's 5th Dream11 IPL title meant that the franchise were unprecedented now. Pollard noted that next best team in the tournament history was Chennai with 3 title wins.
Mentioning Dwayne Bravo, the 33-year-old said that he just wanted to let his teammate know that he was ahead of him with Mumbai's Dream11 IPL win on Tuesday. Mumbai and Chennai share a fierce rivalry in the Dream11 IPL, and are the two most successful franchises in the tournament, with eight wins among the two. Incidentally, Pollard and Bravo were teammates at Mumbai during the 2010 season, where Mumbai reached the final, losing to Chennai.
