Sunrisers Hyderabad gets the Fairplay Award. Hardik Pandya wins Fastest Fifty Award. Kieron Pollard gets the Perfect Catch of the Season. Andre Russell takes away The season's Super Striker.
Jasprit Bumrah adjudged the Man of the Match. Pitch and ground Trophy -- Punjab (Mohali) and Hyderabad bag the award. Shubhman Gill takes away Emerging player of the Tournament.
Suryakumar Yadav: I think it was a very exciting game. Perfect final. We wanted this to happen at the end of the season. Most importantly the process that we follow before the tournament starts. That I feel is the key which takes the team forward and wins you titles.
Jasprit Bumrah: The ball was reversing a little bit. We were trying to keep calm and not panic. We did the same thing in 2017. Eventually, it worked out. Really happy. We always believed in our team. We have confidence in each and every individual.
Mahela Jayawardene, Mumbai Head Coach: You can't the match from the dug out. We had the game in our corner when MS got out. Great decision by Rohit to go back to experienced players. We took a punt and held back Pollard and Pandya. Pollard has had a good record against CSK. I think this why big players come to the party. Rahul Chahar was brilliant and created the pressure through out for us. Malinga held his nerves and did well.
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar: The key moment was to get Dhoni run-out. Also, in patches when Bumrah came and bowled those critical overs, especially after Malinga gave that expensive over. Even after that Krunal over that went for a lot of runs, Bumrah came in very hard. I think Malinga finished off really well, that was a beautiful over to finish off. The couple of finals that we have played here, we have finished it really well even defending a total like 120-odd. We have got a terrific team - (a blend of) experience and youth. Rahul Chahar stands out - I shared my opinion before he played his first game and I thought he was fabulous. Sixth to the 15th over he bowled with a slip there and that was some real quality bowling in a crucial match. I think the spinners have done extremely well, and not to mention Hardik Pandya playing some critical knocks for us over the course of the tournament.
So finally Mumbai Indians take away the cover trophy for the fourth time in the history of the IPL. Watson got RUN-OUT in the last over on 80. This is the 20th match that has gone down the live wire. I had gone cold while reporting this match.
Jasprit Bumrah is here to bowl and he starts off with a single. Changes in the field and Dwayne Bravo is edged and taken. Bravo OUT on 15. Ravindra Jadeja the new man in. Tension grips both the camps. 9 required from 6 balls. FOUR byes to end the over.
Krunal Pandya is here to bowl. Watson slams a SIX and yet another SIX straight down the line. Yet another SIX to deep mid-wicket as he goes down on one knee. Well bowled. One run to end the over.
Jasprit Bumrah is here to bowl and Rahul Chahar DROPS that one. He was dropped three on 31, 44 and 55. That's the pressure of the finals. WIDE. One run to end the over. 38 runs required from 18 balls.
Lasith Malinga is here to bowl and Bravo welcomes him by parking it into the crowd for a SIX. FOUR more by Watson to third man and with that FOUR, Shane Watson scores his 19th IPL half-century. 100 up for CSK. FOUR more. CSK need 42 runs from 24 balls to win the title.
Hardik Pandya introduced. Starts off with a single and then no run. Pandya bowls a WIDE. That throw suggested created a lot of tension in both the camps. As one angle suggested that MS Dhoni was not out and the other emphasised that the CSK skipper was out. But the bails had hit the stumps and MS Dhoni was adjudged RUN-OUT on 2.

The only thing that Mumbai Indians needs to be conscious about is that they have not extended their winning streak beyond three matches. On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings were comparatively not as good in the second half of the IPL 2019 season. Winning the toss at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is said to be crucial because the team winning the toss had won the game eight times out of 11. Out of the three occasions that the two teams have met in the finals of the IPL, Mumbai Indians hold an upper hand over MS Dhoni and men as they have won a couple of games, Whereas, CSK has only won a single game.
