    Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya was elated as his team ended a 13-year-old winless streak in season-openers in the Indian Premier League and hailed his predecessor Rohit Sharma for his majestic knock that set their six-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday.

    Rohit Sharma hammered a fabulous 78 and shared a 148-run partnership with Ryan Rickelton (81) as the Mumbai Indians scored 224/4 in 19.2 overs to overhaul KKR's score of 220/4 built on half-centuries by Ajinkya Rahane (67) and Angkrish Raghuvanshi (51) and win their season-opener for the first time since 2012.
