Mumbai Indians nail-biting win against Rising Pune Supergiant is the final match of the 10th IPL season has left many memorable moments that were caught on camera. Though this is MI’s third successive win of the IPL championship, the match had almost everyone sitting on the edge of their seats, biting their nails and watching the spectacular turn of events unfold.
But one elderly woman from the audience is making news for an entirely different reason. Each and every fan of MI is watching the match without blinking their eyes. But this old woman had her priorities sorted. She was seen praying, eyes shut and hands folded.
If you are among those still wondering how Rohit Sharma’s team win, after all, ask Twitterati for the reason, they might give you a valid answer.
Twitterati’s reply for this question was ‘It is all because of this woman’s relentless prayers.’ Thus, the old woman was trending since then. It took almost half a day to figure out who she was. Well, it seems the lady has finally been identified, and there was even confirmation from Abhishek Bachchan, who responded to a tweet, saying,
That is Mrs. Ambani’s mother. Popularly referred to as “nani”. The lucky charm.

So, she is Purnima Dalal, who has been attending MI matches off and in, and no surprises about which team she’d been supporting right.
Here’s how Twitterati reacted about the Old Woman:
