Mumbai Indians also began their IPL 2026 journey on a positive note with a thrilling win over Kolkata Knight Riders. In a high-scoring encounter, MI conceded over 200 runs but showed great character with the bat to chase down the total in 19.1 overs, finishing with six wickets in hand. Notably, this marked Mumbai’s first opening-match win since the 2012 season.
