It all started with the Indian Premier League (IPL) triumph earlier this year. After leading Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to IPL 2024 triumph, Shreyas Iyer won the Irani Cup under Ajinkya Rahane’s captaincy with Mumbai.
Mumbai clinched its second Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title on Sunday by defeating Madhya Pradesh in the final by five wickets at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Led by Shreyas Iyer, the Mumbai cricket team chased down a target of 175 runs with more than two overs to spare, thanks to Suryakumar Yadav’s quick knock of 48 runs off 35 balls and Ajinkya Rahane’s valuable 37 runs off 30 balls to win back-to-back SMAT titles after winning in 2022.
