Until last year, Mumbai had been crowned champions for 4 times. However, none of those title-winning campaigns came in consecutive years. Their victorious campaigns happened in 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019 before Tuesday night’s win. They also became the first team to win back-to-back titles for the first time since Chennai Super Kings did it in 2010 and 2011.

Suryakumar Yadav played an instrumental role in helping Mumbai lift the IPL trophy last night. He made the ultimate sacrifice when his skipper Rohit Sharma ran to take a quick single. Yadav, on the other end, was not interested in the same and kept an eye on the ball. It wasn’t too late since Rohit Sharma was almost at the non-striker’s end with a run-out about to occur.

In order to save his skipper’s wicket, Surya sacrificed his wicket to allow his well-set captain to continue his stay on the crease. Ending with 19 runs off 20 balls, Surya received praise and applauds on social media for being the perfect team man.
