Unadkat to Simmons, OUT, what a catch! Two wickets in two overs and he's racing towards the top of the charts! Dives to his left, even as the ball is dying. Sticks out his strong hand, his left hand, and it sticks! What a night he's already having.

7.2

Ferguson to Rayudu, OUT, low full toss, rather Rayudu makes that length happen by shimmying down the pitch. But wait, they go for a single, they chance Steven Smith's arm, and that's a terrible thing to do. The Pune captain nails the stumps at the bowler's end and Rayudu is so far short. The Hyderabad boy walks back as the crowd around him - his home city - goes wild

AT Rayudu run out 12

Zampa to Pollard, out Caught by Manoj Tiwary!! Is there MS Dhoni's mind behind this dismissal. CSK fans would know. In 2010, he had a straightish mid-off to dismiss the dangerous Pollard in the final. Now RPS got a very straight long-off - a field placement you normally don't see in cricket - and Pollard hits it straight to him. This was full and in the slot from Zampa, Pollard was in the mood to murder the ball, he went hard, hit it flat and hard, but little did he know that he fell in the trap. It's 65 for 5 now.

14.1
SN Thakur to Karn Sharma, out Karn Sharma Run Out!! Dropped, but Karn Sharma is run-out. An absolute pandemonium out there. Who would have thought that a team that played so well and topped the league stage would find themselves at 79 for 7 in the 15th over of the final. And that too after opting to bat first. Rohit Sharma can't watch from the sidelines. Coming to the delivery, this one swung away from the left-hander, Karn got a thick outside edge which went low to Christian's left at first slip. He couldn't hold on, meanwhile Karn thought of stealing a run, his partner wasn't sure and in the end he was stranded in the middle of the pitch. Great presence of mind from the bowler to run towards the striker's end and effect the stumping.

Karn Sharma run out (Christian/SN Thakur) 1(5)

Narper 2017-05-21 12:23:51 

Six IPL finals were won by the team that batted first. Trigger warning,

if you're a Mumbai fan, I have some unfavourable numbers for you: In 20-over games, teams have only defended 129 or less on eight occasions in the IPL.

The last time was in 2013.

 
Narper 2017-05-21 12:26:48 

Rahane and Tripathi are at the crease.

Rahane is on strike.

Narper 2017-05-21 12:49:09 

3.4
Malinga to Rahane, no run, done in by the slower ball .. and dropped. Krunal Pandya of all people. That's a sitter at short extra-cover. Just that Krunal is indecisive whether to go with fingers pointing up or down. Slower back of a length delivery outside off, Rahane doesn't see it and is early into the shot. All he does is bunt it in the air. Krunal jumps up - which he didn't need to do had he gone with fingers pointing up. His arms are too cramped around the chest, and the ball pops out

Rising Pune Supergiant need 98 runs in 90 balls

 
Narper 2017-05-21 12:54:28 

5.2
Malinga to Rahane, 1 run, another missed opportunity. It's not the most straightforward as Hardik has to hit the stumps from around 15-20 yards, but Mumbai have to make the most of the margins they've confined themselves to. Smith would have been short with a direct-hit. It's a needless single after Rahane patted a slower ball in the direction of backward point. But it was Smith's call

 
Narper 2017-05-21 13:14:50

Krunal Pandya to Rahane, FOUR, one-handed inertia from Simmons at long leg. A ball drifting down, swept and Simmons overruns the ball, tries to adjust and grab one-handed but falls over, and misses

Johnson to Christian, out Washington Sundar Run Out!! 2 runs completed. Mumbai Indians romp home their third IPL win. What a game. A final that's been nailed home by a run, can you believe? Rohit runs as Suchith misfields at deep mid-wicket. Fumbles, almost allowing a super over with the batsmen into the third run but recovers just in time and parries a throw to the keeper.

Krunal: When the wicket were falling, I wanted to play 20 overs because I was the only batsman. I knew if I stayed till the 19th-20th over I could attack.

Pollard: The team has come together many times and that's what happened tonight. Big up to this man here, Krunal, he batted nicely and kept us in the game.

 
Narper 2017-05-21 14:26:51 

Karn Sharma: The team backed me a lot and I am happy that I performed well. We had a plan of not giving boundaries to them.

Bumrah: The ball was reversing, we needed a wicket at that time. Mahi bhai's wicket was the crucial wicket because he can be dangerous in these situations. After the first innings, we always wanted to fight because we were short on runs. Our bowling effort was brilliant. After every over we were backing each other that we can still make it.

 
Narper 2017-05-21 14:29:09 


Rayudu: I couldn't contribute much with the bat, but the catch will remain with me (smiles). The pitch was very surprising (referring to the slowness) It's not even in the centre wicket.

Rana: Great experience. Just hope to carry this in the Ranji Trophy. This is my third IPL and my second trophy, can't get better than that.

 
Narper 2017-05-21 14:34:10 

Vinay Kumar: Yeah it is really great. I got only game to play. We discussed all our plans. We are very happy.

Rayudu: I couldn't contribute much with the bat, but the catch will remain with me (smiles). The pitch was very surprising (referring to the slowness) It's not even in the centre wicket.

Parthiv Patel: I was batting really well in this season. Unfortunately I got out early today. I thought before the innings started. They took the game too deep. Our spinners did really well. We played good cricket throughout the tournament. The catch that Rayudu took turned the game around for us. at the end the result matters.

 
Narper 2017-05-21 14:35:03 

Tendulkar: Simply amazing. The first half wasn't great for us. We got together during the break and Mahela gave a nice speech. We believed that we could pull this off. The fielding was great under pressure. I have always believed in the saying, once a champion, always a champion. He (Malinga) has done well for us for a number of years. I was so sure that he was going to do something great tonight. He might not have had a great season, but he is one guy who can change it in one over.

Mitch McClenaghan: I could not sit still. Bumrah. you guys have to realize what a superstar is going to be. Malinga as well was brilliant.

Bond: It was exciting and heart-wrenching all at the same time. We spoke yesterday about the leaders stepping on the field. When the pressure came on, all the leaders stepped up. Just a brilliant young bowler isn't he. He's been in pressure situations time and again and at 23, he keeps stepping up.

Robin Singh: Bumrah bowled a superb spell as well as Malinga. The outfield was slow too. Once we got Smith and MS of course, we got the game.

Fourth successive loss for Dhoni in IPL final(2012, 2013, 2015, 2017).
