Mumbai Indians finally broke the jinx in Season 15 of the IPL and posted a hard-fought five-wicket victory over their earlier conquerors Rajasthan Royals at the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday.
The victory that halted five-time champions MI’s eight-match losing streak led player-of-the-match Suryakumar Yadav to look at the positive aspects within the team in the midst of a dismal campaign. “The win will spread even more positivity. It will help everyone learn, going forward this season,” said Suryakumar in his post-match presser after MI made 161-5 to overhaul RR’s score of 158-6, with four balls to spare.
