In a high-voltage IPL 2025 encounter between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad, Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor found himself at the centre of social media outrage. While Mumbai Indians celebrated a clinical 7-wicket win at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, fans online were less than thrilled with Arjun’s enthusiastic support for the visiting team.
Arjun Kapoor gets trolled for supporting Mumbai Indians
Among the loud supporters of the Mumbai outfit was actor Arjun, who was seen passionately backing the team from the stands. Cameras captured him applauding key moments and celebrating MI’s dominance throughout the game.
Despite his harmless fandom, Kapoor’s presence didn’t sit well with a section of fans, especially SRH loyalists and online critics. The internet quickly erupted with a flurry of memes and trolling tweets, mocking his support for MI in Hyderabad.
Here’s how fans reacted:

Mumbai Indians soar up the table with fourth consecutive win
The Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians continued their impressive run this season with their fourth straight win, jumping from 6th to 3rd place in the points table. Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, MI’s pace attack delivered a composed performance.
Trent Boult, in particular, was the pick of the bowlers with remarkable figures of 4/26, removing both SRH openers and wrapping up the innings with two key wickets in the final over. Heinrich Klaasen was the lone warrior for Sunrisers, hammering a gritty 71 off 44 balls, as the hosts posted a modest 143/8 in their 20 overs.
In the run chase, Mumbai’s intent was crystal clear. Rohit Sharma, continuing his sublime form, smashed 70 off 46 balls, reaching the 12,000-run mark in T20s, becoming only the second Indian after Virat Kohli to do so. Suryakumar Yadav added flair with a quickfire 40 off 19, helping MI wrap up the game in just 15.4 overs.
