NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians are considered to be a slow starter but when they get going nothing seems to stop them. With their first victory in the
IPL 2024
, the five-time IPL champions created a huge record after defeating Delhi Capitals by 29 runs on Sunday.
Mumbai ended their three-match losing streak in an emphatic fashion as they became the first team to register 150 victories in T20 cricket.
Chennai Super Kings are second on the list with 148 wins to their name.
Mumbai also became the team with highest totals without an individual 50+ scores in T20s. They posted a mammoth total of 234/5, but what's surprising is that none of their batters even managed to reach a half-century, with
Rohit Sharma
's 49 being the highest individual score.
MI achieved another milestone by becoming the first team to secure fifty wins at a single venue in the IPL, as their triumph against DC marked their 50th victory at Wankhede Stadium.
Romario Shepherd smashed 32 runs off the 20th over for Mumbai Indians to set up their first victory of this IPL season. The West Indies big-hitter crashed a 10-ball 39 in an unbeaten stand of 53 off 13 deliveries with Tim David, who struck 45, to steer Mumbai to 234-5.
Delhi finished on 205-8 despite Tristan Stubbs' unbeaten 25-ball 71. They slumped to the bottom of the 10-team table.
Five-time IPL winners Mumbai bounced back from their opening three losses in a relief for skipper
Hardik Pandya
, who has been booed by the fans on all venues after he replaced Rohit Sharma as captain ahead of this edition.
