Pounding Delhi Capitals with a 5-wicket difference, Mumbai Indians scripted yet another history in the IPL tourney winning the tourney 5th time and which is also second time in a row. Skipper Rohit Sharma mercilessly punished all bowlers of the runner-up team but was caught by Lalit Yadav just on the edge of the victory.
Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar and Kishan contributed the team sensibly with their precious innings.
Delhi captain Shreyas Iyer's decision to bat first turned disastrous as the opener Stoinis was bowled by Boult for the very first ball of the match. Had the saviours Shreyas and Pant not scored half centuries, Delhi could have set a shameful target to Mumbai Indians.
Rohit Sharma's admirers have every reason to celebrate the memorable occasion. Yet, it's a team victory. Mumbai Indians have a super strong line-up of batsmen and have dreadful bowling attack. What else a winning team requires other than these qualities? Yes, MI deserves it!
