Captain Rohit Sharma was proud after Mumbai Indians won the Indian Premier League 2017 title and why shouldn’t he be!
As Mumbai became the most successful IPL club and the only franchise to win three titles, it was a moment that Rohit would cherish as he too became the most successful captain in the IPL history, having won four titles, three with MI and one with Hyderabad Deccan Chargers.
The Maharashtra derby had a thrilling finish as Mumbai beat Rising Pune Supergiant by 1 run.
Rohit shared his joy on Twitter, saying that winning repeatedly doesn’t take only talent but also grit, character and intelligence. He wrote, “Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character, grit and intelligence. What a brilliant final to be part of @mipaltan #IPLfinal”
Other Mumbai players also posted on the different platforms of social media to celebrate their big day with their fans.
While Jos Buttler jumped around naked after the winning moment, Jaspreet Bumrah said that it was a privilege to play and learn from legends in the team.
Here are some tweets from what the winning team shared on their respective accounts:
