Mumbai Indians (MI) made as many as six changes to their playing XI in their last league match in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Saturday. Yet the Rohit Sharma-led side emerged victorious against a strong KKR side, thus finishing up as the table-topper in IPL 10. In doing so, MI also became the first team in the history of T20 cricket to win 100 games. In their 10th year of existence in IPL, Mumbai surpassed other teams like Delhi Daredevils (DD), KKR, Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who have been around for the similar period, to become the first team in the world to reach to the landmark.
