Tomorrrow morning when we wake up, there will be a sudden emptiness. There will be no IPL match to look forward to. As they say, every good thing comes to an end. But what a finish, isn’t it? There were so many close games in IPL 2019 and the last match of the league lived up to the reputation.
Mumbai Indians have four IPL trophies in the cabinet. Incredible stuff really. CSK, despite the loss, continue to be called a great team. The last-ball finishes can go anywhere. One of those days when it did not go there way.
One tournament comes to an end and the other awaits us. ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 begins on 30 May. Firstpost has already started bringing you analytical pieces and news related to the biggest crickerting extravaganza. You can find all those articles here .
Meet you soon, people. For now, on behalf of Karan Pradhan, Ujwal Singh, Vaibhav Shah, Amit Banerjee, Jigar Mehta, Shantanu Srivastava, Dilip Unnikrishnan, Shivam Damohe, Amit Kamath, Anish Anand, PN Vishnu, this is Shubham Pandey signing off. Good night. 
Rohit Sharma, MI captain: Throughout the tournament, we played good cricket. We spoke at the start, we need to break tournament into two halves. Once we got he momentum, we went with it. We know how frustrating it is. Credit to the entire squad. Somebody came at some point and played a part.
I think our bowling was excellent. At different stages of the game, our bowlers put their hand up and brought us back in the game. We understood the conditions well and backed our skills. Malinga after going for so many runs, he came back. That is what champions do. He had confidence to pull this off. I wanted to back who has been in the situation before.
I am learning every game , learning every tournament. It is important for these guys to step up and make the captain look good.
Imran Tahir wins Purple Cap
Tahir: Really greateful to Chennai to give me chance at this age. Thanks to everyone who has been supporting me. Mumbai played well and they deserved the victory. I am very please to see these things working late in my career. Playing in this league is tough. I am just very happy with myself. I have been doing hardwork for a long time. I would love to play more. I want to play as much as I can.
What a champion team!
IPL Final MI vs CSK latest updates
Never bet against Bumrah and Malinga. The greatest death bowling pair of all time has done it again for the Mumbai Indians. It seemed MI didn’t want it for a while. They were dropping catches, misfielding, and giving byes but they kept their nerves all the way through and were the deserving winners. CSK will go back to lick their wounds and try to regroup for the next season. The way they fought in the big final against a team that has had the wood them all season gives them reason to hold their head high despite the loss.

Full credit to Mumbai Indians and Lasith Malinga. He had the presence of mind to execute and out think Shardul Thakur under the most immense pressure. Full credit to Rohit Sharma to back Malinga despite him having a poor night. Mumbai coaching staff also need credit for luring Malinga to play again after being part of the coaching staff last year. They deserve to be champions.

Oh Bumrah, you beauty. The match is slipping away from hands, you give him the ball, he will pull it back. Calm and composed, using his skills so well. Game after game, he keeps on delivering the goods under pressure. De Kock panics under pressure on the last ball, could not collect the ball and the ball raced away for a 4 byes. The equation is now 9 needed off 6. Last over coming your way, people. Ball-by-ball updates in last over. Don’t move.

OUT! Bumrah comes into the attack and bangs it short, the ball rises from the length, Bravo was moving to the on side, heaved, the ball took the edge and flew to de Kock who appealed and umpire Gould raised his finger. Dwayne Bravo c de Kock b Bumrah 15(15)

Big over against Krunal makes CSK favourite now. Everything hinges on that Bumrah over now. If CSK don’t lose a wicket in this over, they will fancy themselves in that final over against anyone.
After 18 overs,Chennai Super Kings 132/4 ( Shane Watson 75 , Dwayne Bravo 15)
IPL Final MI vs CSK latest updates
Insane hitting from Watson. He hit Malinga two overs ago for 20 and then he was removed in this over. Replaced by Krunal. He hits him for three consecutive sixes, collects 19 in this over. Wow. Chennai now need 18 runs in 12 balls.
IPL Final MI vs CSK latest updates
Watson and Bravo have hit Malinga out of the attack. Bumrah looks unplayable with his skiddy pace and awkward bounce. Rohit has gambled with Krunal in the eighteenth over. This could be the game right here.
