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:
