Paltan, that winning feeling is back, and now it is time to build on the momentum in the game against the Chennai Super Kings at our fortress. Wankhede is ready, the stakes are high and this particular El Clasico needs no introduction. Now, the focus is simple, back each other, trust the process and own the night because every point matters from here on. Ahead of the clash, our spin wizard, the cool, calm and composed Mitchell Santner graced MI Charcha and set the tone with a conversation that was spirited, sharp and full of smiles. 💙

Talking about the energy of the MI dressing room post the victory against GT, Mitch said, “The energy was good as we put on a great show against a very good team. We play CSK now, and we know there is a lot of work to do. This was a good start after a few losses. The camp is in good spirits and the previous victory was a good team performance, which was good to see.”

“It is all about the belief and trust factor. Everyone backs each other. Everything went well last game. Everyone will be out there against CSK, going about with their respective roles. During the previous contest, Ashwani (Kumar) and Krish (Bhagat) bowled very well and we all trusted and backed them at every stage.”

When things were not going our way, Mitch revealed how the coaches lifted the spirits and egged everyone on to put up a stellar show. “This group is very experienced and a great one indeed. The message remained the same all through, give everything for the team and things will click. During the last match against the Titans, once Boom got that first wicket, we all got that belief back. We put on a clinical show from there, which was nice,” he said.

With Santner in the mix, his cool head and clever planning could be the difference maker, as his craft is set to do all the talking at Wankhede! 🌪️
