Mumbai Bounces Back: First Win of the Season After Two Losses

His brilliant first day in the office ensured Mumbai Indians had an easy target to chase. In response, Mumbai chased down the target without breaking any sweat with Ryan Rickelton being the major contributor at the top, laying the foundation for a comfortable chase. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav scored a quick 23 off 9 balls to finish things off in style.
