On Sunday, at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians secured their first win of the IPL 2024 season in 4 matches. While doing so they etched their name in the history of T20 cricket. They defeated the Delhi Capitals by a comfortable 29 runs, but more importantly, became the first-ever team to register 150 wins in T20 cricket. Their close competitor is the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), trailing behind with 148 wins.

What’s even more surprising is how Mumbai achieved this victory. They posted a massive total of 234 runs on the board and none of their batsmen even managed to score a fifty (50+ runs). Rohit Sharma, the former captain, came closest with a commendable 49 runs. This win with surprising records highlights how strong MI is. They proved that the team’s collective effort is greater than the single-player domination.

That’s not the only milestone MI has achieved on Sunday. The win against DC also marked another significant milestone for Mumbai Indians. They became the first team in the history of the IPL to register 50 wins at a single venue. The iconic Wankhede Stadium, their home ground has truly been their fortress, where they have dominated every opponent.

MI vs DC Match Highlights

A big credit for MI’s victory goes to the explosive batting of Romario Shepherd in the final over. The West Indies player smashed an unbeaten 39 runs off just 10 deliveries. His late heroic along with Tim David’s 45 runs, helped MI post a huge total of 234 runs.

Meanwhile, this victory comes as a major relief for MI’s new captain Hardik Pandya. He replaced Rohit Sharma as skipper of MI way before the start of the IPL 2024 season. Notably, due to initial defeats, Hardik faced a lot of criticism and even boos from the fans. However, with the win against DC, he has proved his worth and silenced his critics. Now, with this dominating win and players getting along with each other wonderfully, MI is as dangerous team as others.

Mumbai celebrated a historic win, but on the other side of the pitch Delhi Capitals unfortunately slumped to the bottom of the points table. Despite a valiant effort from Tristan Stubbs, who scored an unbeaten 71 runs off just 25 balls, Delhi fell short of the target.

Mumbai Indians’ winning journey has just begun. They have proven their potential with a record-breaking win and a dominant performance. As the IPL season progresses, it will be interesting to see if they can maintain this momentum and continue to rewrite history.
