The official Twitter account of the franchise shared a video after winning IPL 2020 and wrote, "From the #MI dressing room: @ImRo45 talks to the boys after our fifth @IPL triumph #OneFamily #MumbaiIndians #MIChampion5 #Believe."

In the video, Rohit said, "One last thank you to our families who have been here with us making sure that they sacrifice and be with us and making sure that we are in the right zone to play the game. All the families have been brilliant. We've actually had a great time together and that is what one family means. We were literally one family."

The MI skipper also talked about the unsung heroes who worked hard for the players so they could succeed on the field. Rohit had got injured during the tournament before the playoffs.

But his medical team made sure he returns to the field after recovering from the hamstring injury. He scored a 51-ball 68 in the IPL 13 final to chase down 157 runs.
