Mumbai Indians have always had a slow start in the IPL, but they have won five titles during this period. The team last won their first IPL match in April 2012, defeating Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets. The team won five titles between 2013 and 2020, but their first match losing streak continued.

Rohit Sharma (78) and Ryan Rickelton (81) hit half-centuries in a 148-run first-wicket partnership as Mumbai Indians beat KKR by six wickets in the tournament opener to end their 13-season losing streak. “It was a long wait to win the first match of the season. Whenever we stepped on the field, our aim was to start the season strong. The whole team is very happy that we were able to do that,” Pandya said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

On choosing between Ryan Rickleton and Quinton de Kock, he said, “Ryan did very well for us last year. And Quinny is a great guy. He understood that we were backing one player and wanted consistency in the team. That approach worked. Whenever I see Rohit playing certain shots, everyone is in awe. His batting is not just great, it is overwhelming.”
