Sara Arjun was among the notable faces spotted at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday as Mumbai Indians took on Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League 2026. The Dhurandhar 2 actress attended the match with her family, adding a touch of glamour to a high-octane contest.
Sara’s appearance comes at a time when she is enjoying a career high following her role as Yalina in Dhurandhar: The Revenge, where she starred alongside Ranveer Singh. The film has struck gold at the box office since its March 19 release, crossing ₹700 crore in India and going past ₹1100 crore globally.
On the field, it was Mumbai Indians who stole the show, ending a long-standing wait for a winning start to an IPL season. Chasing a daunting 221, MI secured a six-wicket victory — their first opening-game win since 2012.
The foundation of the chase was laid by Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton, who put together a commanding opening stand. Rohit smashed 78 off 38 balls, while Rickelton followed it up with a fluent 81 off 43, putting KKR on the back foot early in the innings.
Earlier, KKR had posted a strong 220 for 4 after half-centuries from captain Ajinkya Rahane (67) and Angkrish Raghuvanshi (51). Despite the imposing total, Mumbai’s batters ensured the chase never went out of control.
With a dominant batting display and a historic win to kick off their campaign, MI gave their home fans — and celebrity spectators like Sara Arjun — plenty to cheer about on a memorable night in Mumbai.
