Mumbai Indians the most successful team of Indian Premier League's history continued their dominance as they clinched their second consecutive and overall fifth IPL title after beating Delhi Capitals in the final in Dubai.
Mumbai Indians' title defense kicked off with a loss against Chennai Super Kings in Abu Dhabi. Their first win came against Kolkata Knight Riders and after that, they gained momentum and continued to play good cricket throughout the tournament.
Although they lost two matches in super over it didn't affect them at all and eventually they finished at the first position in the league stage and later beat Delhi Capitals in Qualifier 1 as well as final and clinched their record fifth IPL title.
When it comes to performances almost all players stepped up whenever they got a chance. Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, and Quinton de Kock were their stand-out performers. Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, and Rahul Chahar too did well.
Captain Rohit Sharma scored a fifty in the final but overall he had an average season with bat and all-rounder Krunal Pandya was the only one who couldn't perform this year.
