Mumbai Indians

Paltan, it is now time to move ahead with a fresh approach as the next half of IPL 2026 approaches ✊. With seven more games remaining in the league stage for us this season, let’s get behind our boys in full force with the loudest chants and positive energy at our fortress. Mumbai Indians will lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede on 29th April 2026. Over the years, this fixture always has something exciting to showcase. A single over, a spell, a big innings and then everything changes. Different seasons, now gen-next ready to step up, but when the game hangs in balance, a new hero emerges for MI and owns the moment. At the end of the day, when the match hangs by a thread, fans are on the edge of their seats and there comes the turning moment. If you blink, you miss it. 💙

Before the Blue and Gold clash against the players in Orange, let us rewind the clock and walk down memory lane and revisit MI’s special moments when scripts flipped and so did our heartbeats. 🥶

Master’s final touch and the Pollard carnage at Wankhede (2013)

The world’s favourite Sachin Tendulkar signed off his IPL journey at home, with a valuable 38 runs that set the tone for the remaining batters. Once the stage was set, Kieron Pollard walked in and smashed 66*(27), laced with two fours and eight maximums. His brutal attack with the bat indeed bought fear amongst the opposition. MI chased down 184/3 in 19.3 overs in a super-exciting finish.

BOOM Yorker magic in Super Over finish (2019)

A game that went down to the wire and the Men in Blue and Gold held their nerves when it mattered the most. Needing nine runs in the super over, Pollard and Hardik Pandya sealed the deal for us. Earlier, MI and SRH both ended with 162 in their 20 overs with the game being tied. QDK smashed 69 not out in 58 balls while POTM Jasprit Bumrah picked (2/31) in his four overs.

Pollard’s all-round show seals low-scoring thriller (2021)

Fans witnessed a Kieron Pollard show in Chennai… First with the bat, he made 35 not out in 22 balls, with one four and three sixes helping MI notch up 150/5 in 20 overs. He then did well with the ball too, giving away just 10 runs in his two overs as we won by 13 runs.

Surya Dada chi Supla Century (2024)

Aapla Dada Surya smashed an outstanding 102 not out in 51 balls, which included 12 fours and six sixes, making sure the Men in Blue and Gold crossed the winning line, comfortably chasing 174/3 in 17.2 overs. Earlier Hardik too snapped up 3/31 in his four overs, capping off a nice, all-round evening.

Trent Boult leads the way, Rohit- Surya finish off in style (2025)

POTM Trent Boult was the star with the ball, picking up 4/26 in his four overs, thus rattling SRH to 143/8 in 20 overs. In reply, Rohit Sharma dominated the bowling attack, with a great 70(46) and SKY ended the MI innings with an unbeaten 40 in just 19 balls as we won by seven wickets.
