After the Mumbai Indians’ 5-field complete victory over the Delhi capitals in the 2020 IPL final on Tuesday (Nov 10), a particularly amusing incident took place after the game. The Mumbai Indians players were celebrating their fifth record-setting IPL title on the field when this bizarre event took place.
Mumbai Indians owner Nita Ambani was on the ground, excited for her team’s second IPL title on the trot. She was seen congratulating all the Mumbai Indians players on the field. At the same time, Quinton de Kock and Nathan Coulter-Nile were giving an interview to commentator Simon Doull. Unaware of this, Ms. Ambani came on the scene congratulating the two players. She could be seen in the video saying “Quinton !! … Congratulations”, shaking De Kock’s hands after the big win.
Immediately afterwards, and to his dismay, he saw the camera and asked De Kock: “Are you doing an interview?” and when the goalie-batter answered yes, she immediately walked away in shame. Even though Doull tried his best to call Ms. Ambani on camera, she just took off uncomfortable.

In the 2020 IPL final on Tuesday (Nov 10), the Delhi capitals were limited to just 156/7 of their 20 overs despite Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant scoring half a century. Trent Boult took three wickets against his old team (3/30).
In response, Mumbai looked confident with his talisman Rohit Sharma leading them from the front, scoring 68 (on 51 balls). Ishan Kishan (33 of 19) saw the team at home, Mumbai won the game by 5 wickets.
