Former MI player Mitchell McClenaghan got into a heated Twitter dispute with Scott Styris in response to the recent results.

Positive Note.@mipaltan have never won a championship after winning the first game.

“Positive Note. @mipaltan have never won a championship after winning the first game. Second Positive in general. How good is it to see games being played in Home grounds! Love it @IPL is back!” Mitchell McClenaghan Tweeted.

Styris responded to Mitchell McClenaghan with a wry smile. The Mumbai Indians lost their opening game last season as well, and they came in dead last in the standings, he reminded the left-arm pacer. The formerly versatile player tweeted: “Another positive note… Mumbai has also finished last when they didn’t win their first match”

But the former MI player had the last laugh, telling Styris, “On another positive note – Mumbai beat CSK in the final on two occasions and on a third occasion beat CSK dressed as Pune,” he added.

In 16.2 overs against MI, RCB reached 172/2 after setting a target of 172 runs. Virat Kohli, who was in excellent form, scored an unbroken 82 runs off 49 balls.
