It may be recalled here that after MI won the title in May, a day later Triple H had tweeted, “Congratulations, @mipaltan. @WWE has something headed your way! @WWEIndia”. Speculations were rife back then it will be a WWE Championship title. Earlier, Chelsea defender John Terry was given a similar gift.

In the finals of the IPL, Mumbai Indians took on Rising Pune Supergiants and it was the Rohit Sharma-led side which won the thrilling ‘Maharashtra Derby’ at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. With that win MI became the first team in the history of IPL to lift the trophy three times. Chasing 130 to win the final encounter, RPS faltered in the chase as MI scripted a dramatic turnaround to win the match. While Mumbai Indians won their third title, Rohit Sharma won his fourth title.
