Mumbai Indians play their home matches at the evergreen iconic Wankhede Stadium. Every Indian Cricket fan loves this stadium as India famously won the 2011 World Cup at this very venue. All these add up to build an electric atmosphere that helps Rohit Sharma and his team to play their best cricket, especially with the crowd supporting them in every result.

Mumbai Indian’s owner, Aakash Ambani along with his mother Nita Ambani are cricket enthusiasts and are often seen in the stands supporting her boys in Blue. Wankhede has also been a fan favorite ground because of its fast-paced pitch and high scoring matches.

Every match in Mumbai promises to be a blast, but captains also need to consider the dew factor during the toss. Mumbai’s humid weather always plays a huge factor in deciding the result of a match. With IPL starting from the last week of March, dew will play a significant factor for the Mumbai Indians team during the business end of the tournament.
