5 Signature dishes inspired by cities of IPL teams

5. Mumbai Indians Vada Pav

Mumbai Indians, along with Chennai Super Kings, have won the Indian Premier League the most times. The formerly Rohit Sharma-led MI team won the IPL in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. However, in a controversial decision, Rohit Sharma’s decade-long captaincy reign was ended by the MI management and the team is now being captained by Hardik Pandya in 2024.

If any food dish represents Mumbai Indians, which originate from the financial capital of India, Mumbai, is the quintessential Vada pav. Vada is a fried ball of spicy smashed potato mix that includes green chilies, garlic, ginger, and other spices. The balls are coated in a batter of gram flour and fried. It is then served sandwiched in a pav or local Mumbai bread along with 2-3 types of chutneys.
