Mumbai Indians’ winning streak was snapped on Monday when Rising Pune Supergiant defeated them by three runs at the Wankhede Stadium, completing a double over the table toppers. Ben Stokes, Pune’s record 14.5 crore buy, was the difference as he bowled a tight spell of 2 for21 in a chase of 161. Interestingly, Mumbai has lost just two matches in this edition of the Indian Premier League, both those losses coming against Pune.

Here are some of the striking numbers from the second leg of the Maharashtra derby.

  • Mumbai Indians had equaled their best winning streak in the IPL with 6 consecutive wins, before running into the Supergiants.
  • Harbhajan Singh picked his 200th T20 wicket when he clean bowled Pune captain Steven Smith, becoming only the third Indian bowler to reach the milestone after fellow spinners Amit Mishra and Ravichandran Ashwin.
  • Mumbai Indians created a new record by playing their 170 T20 match, ahead of Somerset who have played 169.
  • With this win, Rising Pune Supergiant have equaled their best winning streak in the IPL, which stands at three. 
  • The silver lining for Mumbai was captain Rohit Sharma getting a half-century. However, his tally of 13 fifty-plus scores in a losing cause is second only to Virat Kohli who has scored 15 fifties in a match his team ended up losing.
