It’s that week of the year the Mumbai Indians Paltan won’t forget easily. Rewind to 2024, the Mumbai Indians had one foot in the final, we were cruising through the chase, but suddenly, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru fought back, triggered a collapse, and our hopes came down crashing.

We’ve avenged a part of it, with our win over RCB in the first half of the tournament. We now have an opportunity to put it behind us entirely. Okay, here’s the equation: a win here will put us straight into the final. A loss, could mean we stay at second spot and play the Eliminator. Yep, you guessed it right. Let’s put memories of 2024 fully behind us with a ticket for Saturday, shall we?

MI are coming off a record-making sixth straight win over the Gujarat Giants, a win headlined by some real positive batting and then some experienced bowling that helped us hold our nerve as we fought back to get over the line last night. RCB might have been eliminated, but given the superstars they have in their side, can never be taken lightly. It’s an iconic rivalry. Let’s add another epic chapter to it!
