One of the McClenaghan’s fans asked If he is with the Mumbai Indians team captain Rohit Sharma or New Zealand captain Williamson? Which was asked twice!
Mumbai of course

Mitchell did not avoid it but answered the question by tweeting. He was soulful about Rohit to hit the winning runs for India in the super over.
Mitchell made a debut in the year 2015. He was part of the Mumbai Indians for the past five years. Not only that but the left-arm pacer was part of Mumbai Indian’s Winning Title- Squads in 2015, 2017 and 2019.

Story of the match: NZ had two to get off three balls, and they fluffed it; India had two balls to get ten runs, and they smoked it. #IndvNZ
