Top 5 celebrations by Mumbai Indians' players in IPL
Recap of the most enthralling celebrations by Mumbai Indians' players over the years
3) Hardik Pandya gallops at Wankhade
Mumbai Indians have a reputation of finishing things late and in a way makes it great. In the 7th game of the IPL 2017, Chasing 179 runs to win in 20 overs against Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai found themselves in a spot of bother before youngster Nitish Rana played a good hand of 50 off 29 balls. But the job wasn’t done yet, with 59 runs more to get from 22 balls, MI needed a cameo, and Hardik Pandya delivered the goods when mattered the most.
He cut the ball hard, pulled a few miles and timed a boundary that went past the fine leg in no time. He also had the rub of the green going his way, as he was dropped by Rishi Dhawan during his assault, and also fetched a bonus boundary off the butter fingers of Surya Kumar Yadav.
The dug-out was up and running, Wankhade erupted in madness and Pandya gestured a silence towards the critics to seal the night. Clearly, his international exposure came in handy, and with a solid top order in place, Pandya completes the jigsaw when it comes to the finishing woes.
