After the dust settled in Dubai following nearly two months of hot and heavy action, the Indian T20 League 2020 season finale culminated in a record fifth title for Mumbai, as they got the better of first-time finalists Delhi by five wickets.
The series offered a much-needed dose of escape and entertainment to the masses and kept their minds off the pandemic for a few hours every day, and as such, the reactions to the eventual victors flooded social media.
We round up the best reactions to Mumbai's triumph:
Ab to aadat si hai sabko aise dhone ki.
The best T 20 franchisee in the world and the best captain in the format. Deserving winners , Mumbai Indians, koi shak.
Amazingly well organised tournament despite various challenges.#IPLfinal pic.twitter.com/yYkRqKtoxQ— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) November 10, 2020

Rarely has a team dominated an #IPL as @mipaltan have this one. Just too powerful and a staggering top 7.

I hold my head high as a Mumbaikar. Thank you @mipaltan for making us feel on top of the world even when you didn’t have us cheering you on in the stands. Real Champions make victory seem easy, even though winning requires back-breaking work! https://t.co/hFadXhU80I

#Mi isn’t just the best team in the #IPL, they’re the best team on the planet. Head and shoulders above the rest. Winning the crown is difficult...defending it is even tougher. Only the second team to do so in the IPL.
