Mumbai Indians (MI) on Saturday recorded their second win of the IPL 2023 against Kolkata Knight Riders at Wankhede Stadium desiring a valiant century from Venkatesh Iyer. After the win, MI had broken into a maniac celebration of the match, during which Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan were seen hijacking Zaheer Khan’s interview and took him into their celebratory parade.
After the six-wicket win at home, their second consecutive win in the ongoing season, the entire Mumbai Indians unit, including the players, coaching staff, and owners had taken a victory lap around the Wankhede Stadium, waving at the crowd and soaking in all the applause. Former Indian pacer, Zaheer Khan, who was previously part of the MI coaching unit, along with Parthiv Patel, a former player of the franchise, were both on the sidelines, in conversation with Jio Cinema, assessing Mumbai’s win against KKR.

After the game, Suryakumar Yadav said, “We had a chat in the dugout, we just had to carry the momentum from the previous game and the boys put on a show. I would have loved to finish the game but very happy with how things went. In the afternoon, I thought the wicket was a bit dry but the way the guys batted, it settled down in the evening. At Wankhede, 180-190 is quite chaseable and Ishan took us off to a great start.”
