Four out of 5 top-wicket takers in #TataWPL were from #MI. 61 wickets between Hayley, Kerr, Wong and Ishaque. No wonder they say that batters win you games, bowlers win you trophies. Well played, #MI 👏👏

Mumbai Indians have proved after winning the WPL title that why they are so consistent when it comes to winning tournaments. Mumbai has a solid bench strength and a strong support staff which is mainly the reason behind their success. The franchise are all the holders of five Indian Premier League titles under the leadership of Rohit Sharma.
