IPL Match 3 | MIvKKR Preview: WANKHEDE = आपला घर, आपले emotions

By Mumbai Indians

Dear Paltan,

It’s been 317 days since we witnessed a full house at Wankhede, cheering your hearts out at every ball. Yes, 2024 wasn’t our best and things did not go our way, but y’all stood like a wall with your unwavering support through thick and thin. Now, it’s our turn to give back. 💙

Fast forward to March 31, 2025. Just in a day’s time, a new dawn is set to take over, the floodlights are about to shine, the chants are ready to echo and the stands will turn into a sea of Blue and Gold—because that’s what a matchday setting looks like in आमची Mumbai, right?!

This isn’t just another season. It’s a new chapter, a fresh start and a chance to show the world what MI is truly made of. 💪

As we step onto that sacred Wankhede turf for the first time in IPL 2025, we need you more than ever. We need the dhols, the roars and the energy that makes this stadium our fortress. Because when you fill these stands, we don’t play alone—we play with you, for you.

We also have memories aplenty versus the Kolkata Knight Riders, our upcoming opponents. While RO smashed his maiden IPL century in 2012 against KKR, HP-Polly heroics guided us to a thrilling five-run win in 2015.

Moreover, आपला Surya दादा made his captaincy debut for MI in 2023 versus KKR, where we won comfortably by five wickets.

Right then, let’s continue to make Wankhede an unstoppable force. Let’s make every six, every wicket and every moment count. We promise to give our all—200%, nothing less.

After two tough games in 2025, Wankhede is just the balm we need. So, come in numbers, bring your passion, wear your MI blue with pride and let’s show the world what #PlayLikeMumbai is all about!

Chala bola Ganpati Bappaaaaa… MORYAAAAAAA!! 🙏

तुमची,

MI Family
